Objective language
Flags emotional or evaluative terms such as "bad", "upset", "angry", "happy", "lazy" or "spoiled" and asks for observable, measurable descriptions.
RBT objective documentation
Standardizing ABA Objective Vocabulary & ABC Formatting
Auditors look for observable, measurable behavior — not impressions. AbaAiCheck flags subjective and evaluative words, checks Antecedent–Behavior–Consequence structure, and rewrites the narrative in formal clinical language without adding facts the session did not record.
Subjective phrasing vs. objective ABA documentation
Subjective
"The client was being bad and got upset during work time."
Objective
"During DTT, the client threw 2 task cards and cried for [specify: duration] after the demand was presented."
Evaluative words ("bad", "upset") replaced by observable behavior. The duration was not in the note, so it stays a bracket.
Subjective
"He was lazy and didn't want to do anything."
Objective
"The client did not initiate the task after [specify: number] verbal prompts; the RBT moved to a preferred activity and re-presented the demand."
"Lazy" is a judgment, not a behavior. The rewrite describes what was observed.
Subjective
"Client napped for 30 minutes, then we did some programs."
Objective
"Session time during sleep is not billable ABA treatment — document only the time spent on behavioral intervention, or do not bill it."
Non-billable activities (naps, sleep, babysitting, homework help) are flagged.
What the audit checks
ABC structure
For each behavior event: antecedent, behavior (topography), intervention applied and client response — each marked as documented or missing.
Formal clinical language
The rewrite drafts a continuous, professional ABA narrative in formal vocabulary, keeping only the facts the note contains.
CPT 97153 compliance and CPT 97155 alignment
CPT 97153 — direct implementation
Objective data (frequency, duration, percentage, trials), prompt levels used, problem behaviors addressed and aligned with the BIP, and the replacement / skill-acquisition programs implemented.
CPT 97155 — protocol modification
The protocol change that was made and why, the modeling or coaching provided to the RBT, and the data analysis supporting the clinical decision.
Every requirement is checked against the code you bill, with a pass / missing status and an exact suggested fix for each gap.

AbaAiCheck supports clinical documentation review. It does not replace clinical judgment, legal advice or payer-specific guidance, and it does not guarantee payer approval: the clinician reviews every suggestion and remains responsible for each note they sign.
