ABA Assessment & Treatment Planning
A clinical process designed to understand your child’s strengths, needs, routines, and goals before developing an individualized ABA therapy plan.
Clinical foundation
Understanding your child’s strengths, needs, and goals
An ABA assessment helps the clinical team understand your child’s current skills, areas of need, behavior patterns, communication, daily routines, and family priorities. This information guides the development of an individualized treatment plan.
- Assessment focused on the whole child
- Input from families and relevant environments
- Goals connected to meaningful daily progress
What the Assessment May Explore
Assessment areas are selected based on your child’s needs, family concerns, and the settings where support may be needed. The goal is to gather useful information that helps guide treatment planning.
- Communication skills
- Social and play skills
- Daily living routines
- Behavior concerns
- Learning readiness
- Family priorities
- School or home routines
- Strengths and preferred activities
