Frequently Asked Questions

  • ABA therapy organisations grow by opening new locations rapidly while delivering highly individualised, protocol-driven care. Staff struggled to access current information, SOPs were difficult to maintain across locations, training materials were scattered, and HIPAA compliance while sharing sensitive information required a more robust solution. These are the operational realities of scaling a clinical care business.

  • By creating a centralised intranet hub that brought SOPs, training materials, clinical resources, and communications together in one secure, HIPAA-compliant Google Workspace environment. Staff across all locations could access current information consistently. Jenny Saavedra described the platform as revolutionising their internal operations.

  • The entire intranet lives inside ABA Spectrum Therapy's own Google Workspace environment. No sensitive clinical or staff information is processed by or stored on an external platform. Google's enterprise security protocols apply throughout, and role-based access controls ensure clinical information is accessed only by those with appropriate permissions.

  • In ABA therapy, protocol consistency directly affects patient outcomes. When therapists at different locations reference different versions of a procedure, care quality varies. Steegle.One's centralised, well-maintained content hub means every therapist at every location works from the same current materials.

  • Steegle.One automates the distribution of updated materials, maintains a current staff directory across locations, and keeps communication consistent without requiring manual effort at each site.

  • Yes. If an ABA therapy organisation needs a custom staff scheduling tool, a clinical supervision tracking system, a parent communication workflow, a compliance checklist, or an automated onboarding process for new therapists — all of that can be built inside Google Workspace using AppSheet or Apps Script.

  • Therapy staff need fast access to the right clinical resource, procedure, or colleague information during busy clinic days. AI tools like Gemini can surface what they need almost instantly — but only when the underlying content is well-organised, current, and trustworthy.
