Assessment in Applied Behavior Analysis
Understanding Your Child is the First Step to Helping Them Grow
The journey begins with clarity. Our ABA assessments are more than just evaluations—they’re a way to truly understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and how to best support them.
With compassion and expertise, our team carefully crafts a plan rooted in your child’s needs and your family’s goals. It’s not just data—it’s the starting point for transformation, growth, and hope.
At Go Behavioral, a strong foundation begins with a thorough and individualized assessment. Our Assessment in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the critical first step in designing effective, personalized treatment plans that address each client’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.
What is an ABA assessment?
An ABA assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that helps us understand a child’s current developmental levels across important areas such as:
- Communication skills
- Social interaction and play skills
- Adaptive and self-help skills
- Academic readiness and learning behaviors
- Emotional regulation and coping skills
- Challenging or interfering behaviors
Through a combination of direct observation, standardized assessment tools, caregiver interviews, and skill probes, we gather essential data to create a roadmap for effective intervention.
Our assessment process includes:
- Initial Consultation and Intake
We meet with the family to review developmental history, identify concerns, and discuss goals.
- Direct Observation
Our clinicians observe the child’s behavior in natural environments such as the home, school, or clinic setting.
- Standardized ABA Assessment Tools
Depending on the child’s age and needs, we may use tools like:
- VB-MAPP (Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program)
- ABLLS-R (Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised)
- PEAK (Promoting the Emergence of Advanced Knowledge)
- AFLS (Assessment of Functional Living Skills)
- Behavioral Assessment
For children exhibiting challenging behaviors, we may conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) to determine the cause and develop targeted behavior intervention plans.
- Caregiver Collaboration
We include parent and caregiver input throughout the assessment process to ensure goals align with family priorities and real-life needs
Outcome of the Assessment
At the conclusion of the assessment, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) will develop:
- A detailed report summarizing findings
- Individualized goals for therapy based on strengths and areas of need
- A recommended treatment plan including suggested service hours and intervention strategies
This personalized plan serves as the blueprint for therapy, ensuring that intervention is purposeful, measurable, and truly meaningful to the client’s life.
