Introduction:
When you trust someone with your child’s care, you deserve peace of mind. At Beyond The Spectrum ABA Therapy (BTS), we are committed to providing a secure, transparent environment while rigorously protecting every family’s privacy.
From our state-of-the-art surveillance cameras to carefully designed observation policies, here’s how we keep you connected to your child’s progress without compromising confidentiality.
A Secure and Monitored Environment
Safety and accountability are foundational at BTS. Our center is equipped with professional-grade surveillance cameras covering therapy rooms, common areas, and entrances. These systems allow:
- Real-time monitoring by authorized staff to ensure safety and quality of care
- Secure storage of video footage for internal review and training purposes
- Restricted access so only approved personnel can view recordings
Our surveillance is never used for marketing or shared without explicit, documented consent.
HIPAA Compliance: Your Privacy is Protected
As a healthcare provider, Beyond The Spectrum ABA Therapy (BTS) strictly follows all requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This means:
- We safeguard all personal health information (PHI) through secure recordkeeping systems.
- Only team members with a legitimate need have access to client information.
- Video recordings are treated as confidential and protected by the same standards as other health records.
Families can feel confident knowing their child’s information is handled with the highest level of care and professionalism.
Parent Observation: Staying Connected to Your Child’s Progress
We believe in transparency and family involvement. Parents and guardians are welcome to observe therapy sessions by:
- Scheduling observation times with the Office Manager or supervising staff
- Parents or caregivers are also allowed to walk in but must sign the entry log book
- Using the designated parent viewing room to watch live video feeds in accordance with our policies
To protect the privacy of all clients and comply with HIPAA, parents observing sessions are required to sign Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). These agreements ensure that:
- Information about other children in the center remains confidential
- Video access is not recorded or shared outside BObservations are used strictly for your child’s therapeutic benefit
- Observations can also help you learn strategies you can use at home
- This balance allows you to stay engaged while maintaining a respectful environment for every family.
