What does an ABA assessment entail?

An ABA assessment at Kyo includes the following steps:

  1. A thorough review of relevant records including your child’s diagnostic evaluation, medical reports, and/or educational records (IEP). 
  2. A parent interview to learn more about your child and determine your family’s priorities for ABA therapy. 
  3. Two to three direct observation sessions with your child either in-person or via telehealth. These may occur across multiple environments (e.g., home and school) to get a complete picture  of your child’s current skills and areas of challenge.
  4. Completion of a comprehensive assessment report that will be shared with you and your insurance company. This report will contain, among other things: recommended goals, treatment strategies, and a clinical recommendation for the number of service hours that should be provided.
