This article is for you if you are the person being tracked in BEHCA — you're logging your own day-to-day data. We call this self-reporting.
You're usually here because a family member, a clinician, or a support coordinator set up your profile. They created your login; you do the day-to-day tracking.
How self-reporting is different
Self-reporters use BEHCA a little differently from staff or guests:
- You see only your own profile. No team list, no other people's data.
- You don't manage the profile. Name, location, tracking setup, and who else can see your data are controlled by the person who set up your account — you don't edit those yourself.
- You don't sign Required Documents (Client Plan of Care). Those documents are for the people who care for you to sign.
- The app is centered on logging your own day — not on managing a care team.
Step 1 — Get your login from your manager
Self-reporters don't use the email Get Started invitation that staff and guests receive. Instead, whoever set up your profile enables Self-Reporting and creates a username and password for you. They share those credentials with you directly (in person, by phone, or through your organization's secure channel).
Sign in at app.behca.com/login (US) or au.behca.com/login (Australia) using that username and password — not your email address unless your manager told you to use it as the username.
If you were invited as Staff or a Guest instead (you received a BEHCA invitation email), follow I was invited — how to accept — that's a different path from self-reporting.
Step 2 — Make your first daily entry
After you sign in, you'll land on your tracking screen. Self-reporters don't use a separate Track menu the way staff do, and you don't pick between Behavior / Environment / Health tabs the same way. Log what your screen shows for the day, then save.
On the web
- Sign in at
app.behca.com(US) orau.behca.com(Australia). - Use the tracking fields on your home screen for today.
- Save each entry as you go.
On mobile
- Open the BEHCA app.
- Log today's entries from your tracking screen.
- Save each entry.
Most of what you log appears in Recorded Today when staff open your profile on Track — and those same entries also appear in the Audit Log. Emotions and tolerance are different: they do not show in Recorded Today for staff; they only appear in the Audit Log.
You can delete entries you logged yourself, but you cannot edit them.
What other people in your circle of care can see
Whoever set up your account can see what you log. Depending on the profile setup, that might be:
- A family member who set up the account.
- A clinician (psychiatrist, therapist, doctor) who was invited as a guest.
- A school or program coordinator.
If you're not sure who has access to your data, ask the person who gave you your login. They can show you the team and guest list for your profile.
When to ask for help
Some things you can't change on your own — you'll need to ask the person who set up your account:
- Adding new things to track (for example a new behavior or symptom label).
- Adding or removing people who can see your data.
- Updating your profile details (name, photo, location).
- Closing the account if you no longer want to use BEHCA.
For everyday questions about the app itself, our help articles or the chat support button on the website are the fastest way to get answers.
Common questions
- Can other people see what I log? — Yes. The people with access to your profile can see your daily entries. That's the point — your circle of care can support you better when they know what's happening.
- Can I have private entries? — Currently, no. If you'd like to keep something to yourself, don't log it in BEHCA.
- Do I have to use the mobile app? — No. The website works just as well. Many self-reporters prefer the app because it's faster on a phone.
- What if I forget to log something for a day? — You can backdate entries when the app lets you change the date and time to when it actually happened.
