SOAP Notes
I have been requiring RBTs to use the SOAP notes feature of Catalyst for sessions notes.. I was explaining that our notes should NOT be subjective. Furthermore, RBTs do NOT assess nor do they plan. That is the BCBAs role. It dawned on me that the label SOAP notes is not really appropriate for ABA. Could the heading be changed to "Session Notes"? A history of the term "SOAP NOTES" can be found here:

THANK YOU!! Therapists do not do SOAP notes, they do session notes. Clinicians do SOAP notes. There should be a separate option for SOAP but only for clinicians, not therapists. After a therapist puts in a session note, the clinician would then have the option to pull that session note into their own SOAP.
