The Intake Process

Our intake process begins over the phone with a parent interview followed by assessment in clinic over the course of two days for 2 hours each time. The assessment process consists of many different methods to determine why certain behaviors are occurring, what skills the client is already capable of, and what areas we can focus on when teaching new skills. Here is an explanation of the steps.

ABA Therapy

Once assessment is complete, and treatment goals have been determined, on-going direct therapy sessions will begin in the clinic. ABA Therapy in the clinic is informed through a whole child approach in which the following are utilized to create a treatment plan: assessment results, parent report, and the child’s present level to access learning opportunities.

Parent Training

The team at H.O.P.E. will schedule a meeting with your family to discuss the results of the behavior and skill based assessments. These meetings will occur monthly in order to review treatment progress and generalize skills learned in ABA Therapy to your home and community.
