Getting Started: Initial Process
Initial assessments are typically up to 10-12 hours in length. For the direct meeting and observation portion, a Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will meet with your family to discuss services and observe your child during play to assess skill levels. For adolescent learners, the BCBA may spend more time interviewing him/her about his/her goals and preferences. This will be followed by a 4-6 hour indirect writing session used to score and interpret formal assessments as well as report writing. At the end of the intake process a more formal recommendation regarding therapy will be provided.
