Use of Assessment Instruments by Behavior Analysts (BCBAs/BCBA-Ds) Part II: From Assessment to Intervention Planning matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in clinical documentation, payer communication, supervision records, and leadership review. In Use of Assessment Instruments by Behavior Analysts (BCBAs/BCBA-Ds) Part II: From Assessment to Intervention Planning, for this course, the practical stakes show up in service continuity, accurate reporting, and defensible clinical decisions, not in abstract discussion alone.

Given requirements by some funders for behavior analysts to conduct standardized assessments on a periodic basis such as the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, it would be useful to learn how to use such assessment instruments as well as results of autism specific instruments (such as CARS, GARS, and ADOS) to devise the behavior plan and identify goals for the individual that would be relevant to the individual's developmental needs as well as acceptable by the funder. The session will provide a basic overview of common assessment tools that might be of use for behavior analysts and how to use the results to devise a behavior treatment plan.
