What to Expect When Receiving Services

  • Assessment

    • Pr​ior to developing a treatment plan for a client, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will conduct both direct (ABLLS-R, AFLLS, VB-MAPP, etc.) and indirect assessments (parent interview, analyzing records, etc.) in order to inform our treatment plan. 

  • Programming

    • A BCBA will use results from the aforementioned assessments to create individualized programming for the client. This programming will guide instruction.
