Intake and Initial Assessment

The most important step in a successful ABA/social skills intervention is a complete assessment of your child's current functioning level through a 1 hour meeting with you and your child/adolescent as well as a records review. The treatment plan is reviewed every 3-6 months to ensure progress is taking place.
