Welcome to your weekly source for essential team updates. Each week, we will share updates designed to help you run a thriving, compliant, and efficient practice. From platform enhancements to compliance changes, this is your go-to resource for staying aligned.

Product & Engineering

  • Cumulative Target Graphs in Orbit: We’ve added a new cumulative graph type to the TargetGraphContainer. This update allows you to see how daily Trial Count values accumulate over time, providing a clear, at-a-glance view of cumulative progress.

Provider Success

  • Planning for First of Year benefit reverification: Start preparing for First of Year benefit reverification as the new year approaches! Initial eligibility screening will run through early January, with approximately 99% of plans verified by January 9th. Full benefit reverifications are expected to reach 90% completion by January 23rd and 99% by January 30th. January SLAs remain 2 business days for all benefit checks.

    • Action Needed: Please review and update your active client list in Mission Control by 12/31/25 at 11:59pm ET. All active clients and plans at that time will be used to create the reverification list.

  • Upcoming CE Event: We are 1 week away from our CE Event— RSVP here!

    • Don’t miss our December 4th CE session with Rose Griffin, MA, CCC-SLP, BCBA! She’ll be covering how to ethically navigate differing perspectives when supporting learners who use GLP, AAC, and verbal imitation.

Finance

  • Rippling Spend for Reimbursements: We’re moving all expense reimbursements from Brex to Rippling Spend! What this means:

    • Everything happens in one platform you already use.

    • Faster, simpler process with no back-and-forth.

    • Reimbursements are paid through payroll, so you know when to expect them.

  • Staff Bonus and Other Payout Request Workflow: Practice Owners can now submit bonus or other additional payout requests directly through the new Staff Bonus and Other Payout Request Workflow. Simply run the workflow in your designated Slack channel, and the request will be routed to the Payroll team for review. Once approved, the payout will be added to the payroll for the selected pay period. The workflow supports:

    •  Performance bonuses

    •  Referral bonuses

    •  Additional pay

    •  Any other one-time payout requests

  • Reminder for future payroll (PP25): Log Holiday Pay Hours in Mission Control

HR

  • New rules for RBT certification start on January 1, 2026! 

    • Exam & Training: Updated 40-hour course, new study list, more focus on data/graphs, clearer ethics, and application fee rises to $65.

    • Certification Renewal: Now every 2 years, with 12 Professional Development hours required; recertification fee $50.

    • For Supervisors: Trainers need 8-hour supervision training, assistants must be RBT certified, 40-hour course updated, and training records kept for 10 years.

If your application is approved before 2026, the current rules still apply. Any certification that expires in 2026 or later will require completing the new training and assessment.
