What happens when innovation meets intention in the world of ABA? At our latest Hi Rasmus webinar, From Data to Growth, four forward-thinking organizations pulled back the curtain on how they’re using the Hi Rasmus platform to elevate care, empower teams, and improve outcomes for the autism community.
Turning Caregiver Competency Into Measurable Outcomes
Shaun Yocum, CEO of Hickory Learning Group, opened the webinar with a compelling look at how his team is redefining ABA success through caregiver-led outcomes. Rather than focusing solely on client progress, Hickory measures how well caregivers can generalize and maintain skills in real-world settings.
Their custom-built GAN Assessment (Generalization Assessment for Independence and Nurturing) combines parent self-assessments with BCBA-scored observations to evaluate true caregiver competency. The goal? To titrate services based on family readiness, not just client data.
Using Hi Rasmus’ data tools and generative AI, Shaun’s team delivers precise, unbiased performance feedback to both staff and families. The result is more brilliant coaching, better IOA, and meaningful progress that sticks.
“When a parent’s score and the BCBA’s observation match, and both say ‘I got this,’ we know we’ve done our job.”
Building a Culture of Growth Through Staff Scorecards
Beth Carrasco, VP of Clinical Operations at Jigsaw Developmental Services, shared how her team transformed staff supervision by integrating Hi Rasmus staff profiles and scorecards into daily workflows.
Jigsaw’s four core goals?
- Track clear, objective performance feedback.
- Ensure high-quality documentation and service delivery.
- Foster transparency and collaboration
- Make performance reviews actionable and growth-focused
From onboarding to quarterly reviews, Jigsaw uses staff profiles as a one-stop hub for training data, session note audits, and scorecard-based performance trends. This enables supervisors to provide real-time feedback and helps staff track their growth over time.
“It’s not just about catching errors. It’s about capturing progress and building trust through transparency.”
Data-Driven Promotions and Pay-for-Performance Programs
Rebecca Powell, CEO of Seven Dimensions Behavioral Health, took scorecards a step further—tying them directly to bonuses and promotions. Every RBT in her organization has access to a personalized performance dashboard powered by Hi Rasmus.
Staff fidelity checklists, training progress, and skill acquisition targets feed into live reports that automatically determine readiness for advancement. Pairing decisions are also guided by this data, helping align new hires with clients based on skills and complexity levels.
“We train every RBT like they’re going to be a BCBA—because that leads to better care, regardless of the role.”
Scaling Supervision Across Agencies and Systems
B. Kuereine Gray, founder of Expanding Potentials, showcased the platform’s flexibility beyond internal teams. As a reflective supervisor and consultant, she builds custom client profiles for partner agencies, state-funded programs, and interprofessional teams.
Bee uses Hi Rasmus to:
- Assign custom permissions for agency leaders
- Track fidelity and collaboration across multiple stakeholders.
- Generate consulting notes with embedded smart fields and AI summaries.
“It’s about decreasing response effort and improving communication. The platform allows us to track every moving part.”
