Every Journey Begins With Understanding

Before your child can move forward, we need to know exactly where they are. New Patterns ABA's comprehensive ABA assessment gives your family a clear, detailed picture of your child's strengths, challenges, and potential -- so every step we take together is the right one.

Schedule Your Assessment

Our autism developmental evaluation is conducted by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) with deep expertise in child development and behavioral assessment. This is not a checklist -- it is a thorough, compassionate process that looks at the whole child to understand how we can best support their growth and independence.

A Complete Picture of Your Child

Our functional behavior assessment examines every dimension of your child's development. We assess:

● Communication and language abilities
● Social interaction and play skills
● Adaptive behavior and daily living skills
● Challenging behaviors and their functions
● Learning style, strengths, and motivators
● Environmental factors that affect behavior
‍
This comprehensive approach ensures that the treatment plan we develop is grounded in a real, detailed understanding of your child.

We See the Whole Child

A great autism behavioral assessment does not only look at what is difficult -- it identifies what your child does well. Understanding your child's strengths is just as important as understanding their challenges, because strengths are the foundation we build on. Our BCBAs take a balanced, affirming approach that sees your child as a whole person, not a set of deficits.

Observing Your Child in Their Natural Environment

Our in-home ABA assessment includes naturalistic observation in your home, allowing our BCBAs to see your child's behavior in the environment where they spend most of their time. This natural environment assessment gives us insights that clinical settings simply cannot provide -- and it is less stressful for your child.

Clinical Expertise You Can Trust

Every New Patterns ABA assessment is conducted and reviewed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Our BCBA assessment process follows evidence-based standards, uses validated assessment tools, and is documented thoroughly so your family has a clear record of findings and recommendations.

Your Insights Are Essential

Parents know their children better than anyone. Parent input is a core part of our assessment process -- we interview caregivers in depth, ask about your family's priorities and daily challenges, and incorporate your perspective into the full evaluation. This collaboration ensures the resulting treatment plan reflects what actually matters to your family.

We Verify Your Coverage Before You Begin

We verify your ABA therapy insurance benefits before the assessment begins, so there are no surprises. Our team handles prior authorizations and communicates with your insurance provider on your behalf. We accept most major insurance plans and will advocate for coverage even in complex cases.

From Assessment to Action

The assessment does not end with a report -- it leads directly into a fully individualized ABA treatment plan. Your child's BCBA uses assessment findings to develop specific, measurable goals aligned with your family's priorities. You will understand exactly what we are working toward, how we will measure progress, and what success looks like for your child.
