  • Goal management;

  • Improved reporting features;

  • Session notes;

The free version is designed to help clinicians explore the platform and includes features like:

  • Caseload management tools;

  • A library of resources;

  • Session note tracking;

  • Session documentation; and

  • Student profiles.

The free version allows for up to eight 30-minute teletherapy sessions per month.
