ABA Assessment in Ottawa
At PALS Therapy Clinic, our ABA assessments help families better understand their child's strengths, skills, needs, and areas for development. Through individualized, evidence-based assessment, we identify meaningful goals and provide recommendations to support your child's progress and independence.
What Is an ABA Assessment?
An ABA assessment is a comprehensive process used to understand a child's current skills, behaviours, strengths, and areas where additional support may be beneficial. The assessment helps identify priorities for intervention and provides a foundation for developing individualized treatment goals.
What Does an ABA Assessment Look At?
Communication Skills
We assess how your child communicates their wants, needs, ideas, and feelings and identify opportunities to develop functional communication skills.
Social Skills
We look at skills related to interacting with others, including social engagement, play, turn-taking, cooperation, and responding to others.
Daily Living Skills
We assess everyday skills such as self-care, routines, following directions, and completing age-appropriate activities with increasing independence.
Learning & School Readiness
We evaluate skills that can support successful participation in preschool and school, including attending, following instructions, transitioning, learning, and participating in group activities.
Behaviour
We examine behaviours that may interfere with learning, communication, safety, or participation and work to understand the factors that may contribute to those behaviours.
Independence
We identify skills that can help your child become more independent and participate successfully across home, school, and community environments.
Individualized Assessment & Recommendations
Every child is unique, so our assessments are tailored to your child's developmental level, strengths, needs, and family priorities. Following the assessment, we provide individualized recommendations and meaningful goals that can help guide intervention and support your child's development.
