Just like a doctor checks in on your child’s physical health, ABA providers reassess behavior and skills to ensure therapy stays on track. An ABA reassessment is a critical part of your child’s ongoing success. At Breakthrough ABA, we guide families across the Greater Houston area through this process with clarity and care.
Why ABA Reassessments Matter
ABA reassessments help your child’s therapy team:
- Track measurable progress on skill acquisition and behavior reduction
- Adjust goals based on new strengths or needs
- Involve parents and caregivers in the next steps
- Maintain insurance coverage, as many providers require periodic updates
Whether your child has been in therapy for a few months or over a year, reassessments ensure the plan remains individualized and effective.
What Happens During a Reassessment?
ABA reassessments are conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and typically include:
- Direct observation of your child’s behavior and skills
- Parent and therapist input on strengths and challenges
- Updated assessments like the VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, or AFLS
- Data review from previous sessions
- New goal setting for skill-building and behavior reduction
This process may take place at your ABA center, in-home sessions, or via telehealth.
What Parents Should Prepare
Parents can support the reassessment process by:
- Sharing recent concerns or progress noticed at home or school
- Bringing updates from teachers or medical professionals
- Communicating changes in routines, sleep, or behavior
This is a team effort—and your input helps shape the direction of care.
What Happens Next?
After the reassessment, your BCBA will update your child’s Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) and skill acquisition goals. This might include:
- Adding or removing specific therapy targets
- Increasing or decreasing session hours
- Shifting focus to new priority areas (e.g., toilet training, social skills)
Most importantly, the plan remains personalized to your child’s needs and learning style.
