Intervention
Before starting the intervention plan, MAPSS conducts a personalized behavioral assessment in recommended locations: your home, your child's school, at MAPSS, or another suitable location. This assessment covers interviews, record reviews, observation, analysis, and a final assessment report. Based on the assessment results, we work with you to identify target goals and treatment recommendations, focusing on behavioral concerns, socialization, skills, and parenting. Collaboration is vital for a successful ABA program, so we partner with you to create an effective intervention plan.
