Transitioning clients from comprehensive ABA treatment to less restrictive care environments is one of the most consequential clinical decisions a behavior analyst makes. This decision affects the client's trajectory, the family's daily life, and the allocation of intensive service resources to those who need them most.

This includes collaborating with other professionals, properly communicating outcomes, and monitoring all aspects of the transition. But how to determine if a learner is ready to transition from comprehensive treatment into a less restrictive environment can be somewhat complex and the criteria aren't always easily laid out. Questions such as when to transition and how to ensure the learner will be successful, drove us into developing a criteria-based transition plan including a readiness assessment and programming focusing on the next learning environment. Long term case conceptualization and family planning can be crucial in making the right decision. This symposium will review the process of developing a transition readiness criterion, family planning tools, as well as give examples of how to use the criteria in the transition planning process.
