Preparing for a home-based ABA clinical assessment with Heart Core ABA is a straightforward process designed to be stress-free for your family. The primary goal is for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to observe your child’s unique strengths and needs in their natural environment.

To prepare for your assessment, you should:

1. Complete intake paperwork: Before the visit, fill out the simple pre-assessment questionnaires and intake forms provided by the team. These forms help the BCBA understand your child’s behaviors, communication style, and daily routines.
2. Gather simple items: Have a few of your child’s favorite items or toys available to help them feel comfortable during the observation.
3. Maintain your normal routine: You do not need to do anything special during the visit. The BCBA will spend 2 to 4 hours observing your child’s natural routines and play to conduct a functional behavior assessment (FBA).
4. Prepare for a parent interview: Part of the evaluation includes a one-on-one discussion where the BCBA will listen to your specific goals and concerns for your child.
5. Verify insurance details: Heart Core ABA typically verifies your Missouri autism insurance coverage within 48 hours of your initial contact, ensuring you understand your benefits before the clinical visit begins.
