To help ABA practices focus on what they do best, CentralReach launched the first iteration of its EMR and practice management platform. Today, under the leadership of Chris Sullens, an award-winning CEO in the technology space, CentralReach is committed to their mission of providing cutting-edge technology and services to help clinicians and educators produce superior client and patient outcomes.
