Assessments
Types of Assessments
Initial Assessment
The Initial Assessment provides a comprehensive overview of your child’s skills, behaviors, and developmental history. Our therapists gather information through observations and discussions with parents to create a tailored ABA therapy plan.
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
The Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) identifies challenging behaviors and their causes. By observing your child and analyzing triggers, we develop targeted strategies to reduce problem behaviors and promote positive alternatives.
Skills Assessment
The Skills Assessment evaluates your child’s abilities in areas such as communication, social interaction, and self-care. This helps us set specific goals and track progress to address skill gaps effectively.
Ongoing Assessments
Ongoing Assessments are used to monitor progress and adjust therapy plans as needed. Regular evaluations ensure that the therapy remains effective and aligned with your child’s changing needs.
