The ABA Assessment Process at Sacramento ABA Therapy
Our commitment to individualized care involves a comprehensive ABA assessment – an important step designed to evaluate a child’s current abilities, identify areas of need, and understand unique challenges.
ABA Assessments can only begin once an authorized clinician has provided an official diagnosis. These assessments are typically funded by insurance, which often requires the diagnosis to authorize the necessary assessment hours.
The data gathered from these assessments form the basis for creating personalized ABA therapy programs that meet each child’s specific needs.
What's Involved in the ABA Assessment
Our team of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) conducts the ABA assessment by thoroughly examining your child’s behaviors and skills across various settings.
The evaluation may be conducted within our clinic to provide a well-rounded understanding of their behavior and skills.
Tools Used in the ABA Assessment
There are several types of assessments available, each tailored to the specific needs of the individual being assessed. Some examples of assessments include:
- The Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP)
- The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS)
- The Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS)
- Socially Savvy
- Early State Denver Model (ESDM)
- PEAK Relational Training
The assessing clinician will evaluate what assessment fits best with your child’s needs to help guide future treatment planning and provide the most optimal services for the child.
The Role of Parents and Caregivers
- Assessment Tools: Caregivers and parents play a fundamental role in our ABA assessment process. Your insights about your child's daily routines and challenges help us construct ABA programs targeting functional and meaningful skills that fit your family.
