Intake Interview
Assessment
The assessor will observe your child and directly assess their skill level through play. You may be asked to perform various tasks to help complete the process.
Behavior Plan Development
Our team will analyze the information obtained from the assessment and write a Functional Behavior Assessment Report which includes a behavior plan and program goals specific to your child’s individual needs. This report will also include the recommended amount of hours that is medically necessary for your child.
Treatment Begins
Once we receive authorization, your family will be matched with a Clinical Team and treatment will begin. The first week is dedicated to building rapport, so it’s normal for the Behavior Technician to just work on establishing a connection with your child. Parent participation is crucial to the success of your child. There will be training to teach strategies on how to prevent and handle behaviors in order to reduce family frustration. Keep in mind, that once behavior Intervention begins, it is normal for behavior to increase before it decreases. However, you will be guided by our team of experts to help you get through those difficult moments and work toward success.
