How Often are Aba Therapy Goals Re-evaluated for Progress?
ABA therapy goals are reviewed and updated on several levels to ensure therapy remains effective and tailored to your child’s growth:
- Weekly Data Analysis: Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) analyze the data collected during one-on-one sessions every week. They provide written updates to families and adjust specific targets so the child is always building on their successes.
- Daily Session Tracking: Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) record data during every single session on skills such as functional communication and adaptive living.
- Quarterly Comprehensive Reviews: Approximately every three to six months, formal review meetings are held to conduct a full re-evaluation of the ABA therapy goals. During these meetings, the team checks for skill mastery or maintenance and determines if goals need to be modified or if new objectives should be introduced.
This tiered approach, which includes regular parent feedback, ensures that the therapy plan evolves alongside the child’s developing skills and the family’s current priorities.
