Do I need to be a BCBA to use RFT App?

No. It is designed for practitioners, and parents use it as structured support alongside their provider. Clinical decisions should sit with a qualified provider either way.

Can it be used in a classroom?

Yes. Skills carry default configuration with per-learner overrides, which is how most classroom staff run it across a group.

Is RFT App a treatment program?

No. It is an authoring tool for practice material. It does not provide clinical advice and does not replace a behaviour analyst or treatment team.

Audiences

Who it is for

The same tool, used three quite different ways.

BCBAs and ABA therapists

The primary audience. You already know what you are programming for; the tool removes the construction step. Draft a lesson for the frame you are targeting, edit it into the program you actually want, assign it across a caseload with per-learner overrides, and read the trial-by-trial data back.

Nothing is prescriptive. The generated lesson is a starting draft, and the clinical decisions stay with you throughout.

Special educators

Classroom staff running relational training alongside a broader curriculum use it to keep materials consistent across learners without rebuilding them each time. Skills carry defaults; individual learners get overrides.

The frame reference doubles as a teaching aid for staff who are newer to relational training.

Parents and caregivers

Parents use RFT App as structure and support alongside the work their team is already doing. It gives a consistent format for practice at home and a record of how it went.

It is not a treatment program and it is not a substitute for your provider. If your child works with a BCBA or a school team, the most useful thing you can do is show them what you are running and let them steer it.

The workflow is the same whichever way you are using it.
