APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENTS
FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENTS (FBA)
A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is a complete evaluation of an individual’s overall current needs, behavior excesses and skill repertoire. The process begins with an indirect assessment, consisting of an intake questionnaire that may be answered by the client or those closest to them (i.e., Caregivers, Parents, etc.). The questionnaire will focus on the individual’s background, history and current concerns. Next, direct observations will take place in the individual’s natural environment and in order to determine the individual’s current skill levels. This process will aid in the development of clinical goals and a cohesive plan to pave the road to each individual’s most independent lives.
Indirect Assessment - conducting interviews and questionnaires with primary caregivers, family members and teachers
Direct Assessment - direct observation of the individual’s skills and behaviors across various settings (i.e. home, school, community) and interactions with individuals
A comprehensive assessment report detailing the individuals strengths, skill deficits, behaviors of concerns and a developed behavior intervention plan (BIP)
APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA) - IN-HOME THERAPY
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is best known for its success in treating individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities). Treatment in this area is effective across an individual’s lifespan (i.e., childhood, adolescence, adulthood). In individuals with developmental disabilities, the goal of intensive, comprehensive intervention is to improve cognitive, language, social, and self-help skills. ABA involves teaching behaviors essential to functioning effectively in the home, school, and community. ABA can also decrease severe problem behaviors that endanger health and safety, and limit educational, residential, or vocational options.
