Programming Assessments
We at Ohana IBI/ABA accept both private and government-funded families of children aged 18 months to18 years​, with or without a medical diagnosis.
​
The first step is an Intake appointment. This is a 1 hour virtual meeting with owner, Chelsey Brooks. We will discuss your child's current skills across various domains as well as any specific goals. We discuss the benefits of ABA and what to expect during sessions. Following the intake you will be set up with your child's team, and paired with a supervised instructor therapist(s).
The programming assessment takes 1-2 hours and is completed by a Supervised Senior Therapist or the Clinical Supervisor in your child's home, with both your child and parent or guardian present. One of several possible programming assessments are conducted at the supervised senior therapists' or clinical supervisors' discretion. We will assess what level your child is at, what areas need to be worked on, and the recommended number of hours of therapy.
​
Once the programming assessment is completed, we will prepare all start-up programming to be used during your child's ABA sessions.
