Assessments
Overview
Assessments are completed at the onset of services and periodically going forward to track progress and update goals as well as strengths, progress, and areas of need. Assessment information can be gathered by reviewing the client's records and history, direct clinical observation, using standardized testing tools, data collection, and conversations with parents/caregivers. These assessments may include:
- Identifying strengths and areas for growth
- Recommending goals and treatment planning
- Recognizing potential reasons for behavior concerns
- Suggestions for better managing these areas of need and decreasing frustration for the client and caregivers
- Plans for reducing support over time
- Possible referrals for other providers and specialists
Who can request an evaluation?
In short, anyone; however, if insurance is being utilized, a referral or pre-authorization will likely be required. If insurance is not involved, no referral or pre-authorization is required. Assessments can be done privately for families or individuals, or for agencies and schools. When you contact PBT for a consultation, the clinician will recommend whether an assessment is a good a fit and discuss the next, necessary steps to schedule one.
