ABA utilizes an objective and reliable measurement to observe, monitor and measure behavior which includes the following:

• A functional behavior assessment (FBA) is conducted to identify specific undesirable behaviors or skill deficits, and create a baseline of current performance.
• A treatment plan is designed and created based on the individual needs identified in the FBA, with specific goals and objectives.
• ABA intervention is implemented aimed at reducing undesirable behaviors, increasing desirable ones, and teaching new skills based on the treatment plan created during the FBA.
• Data is continuously collected, evaluated and analyzed for each intervention goal, to determine effectiveness of intervention and overall progress.
• A re-evaluation is conducted in six month increments as required by funding sources, and based on outcome data, the necessary adjustments are made to the treatment plan which can include; adjustment of current goals, addition of new goals, or a graduation transition plan once all treatment goals have been met.
