What is an ABA therapy assessment?

An ABA therapy assessment is a detailed evaluation performed by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This assessment allows us to observe your child’s behaviors, assess their current skill level, and identify areas where support is needed. The results guide us in creating an individualized ABA therapy plan tailored to your child’s specific developmental goals.

What does the assessment involve?

Each assessment includes the following key components:

Behavioral observations: We observe how your child behaves and interacts in different settings, looking closely at communication, social skills, and any challenging behaviors.
Developmental testing: We use standardized, evidence-based tools to assess your child’s cognitive and developmental milestones.
Parent/caregiver interviews: Your insights are critical to the assessment. We gather information about your child’s behaviors, challenges, and strengths to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
Goal setting: Based on the assessment, we work with you to establish specific, achievable goals for your child’s ABA therapy.
