Initial assessment
Your child’s initial ABA assessment
An initial assessment helps your BCBA learn about your child’s strengths, needs, and family priorities before recommending an individualized plan.
What to expect
Meet your BCBA
A BCBA learns about your child through caregiver input and, when appropriate, observation and other assessment activities.
Review the plan
Your BCBA discusses recommended goals and a treatment plan with you. The scope and timing depend on your child’s needs, coverage, and staffing.
Discuss next steps
Our team explains any authorization requirements and discusses scheduling once clinical and coverage reviews are complete.
Initial assessment is not the same as an FBA
The initial ABA assessment considers broader strengths, needs, and goals for treatment planning. A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) focuses on understanding a particular behavior and may be considered when clinically appropriate. An FBA is not automatically part of every initial assessment.
