Assessment Results

Direct Clinical Observation

Alexander was observed on March 4, 2022, for a total duration of 2 hours. The evaluator was welcomed into the home via Zoom by
Mrs. Orozco.

The client was observed to greet the evaluator when he was prompted. He kept himself occupied playing videos game and his iPad.
He did not interrupt and followed directions whenever he was asked to do something. Alexander did not exhibit any maladaptive
behaviors during the observation.

Adaptive Behavior Assessment

During this assessment, Betzaida Rivera-Ash administered the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-3.

Vineland-3

Mrs. Orozco (Mother) completed the Vineland-3 Comprehensive Interview Form in order to assess Alexander’s current adaptive
functioning. This interview was conducted using telehealth technology.

Assessment and Treatment Plan
The Vineland-3 is a rating scale comprising four domains to assess adaptive functioning: Communication, Daily Living Skills,
Socialization, and Motor Skills. The Communication, Daily Living Skills, and Socialization domains together provide an overall
composite score called the Adaptive Behavior Composite.

Alexander received an Adaptive Behavior Composite standard score of 34, which falls at the <1 percentile and in the low range.

Analysis
The Communication domain assesses abilities surrounding Receptive, Expressive, and Written communication. Alexander received a
standard score of 24 within this domain falling at the <1 percentile and in the low range. Alexander’s relative weaknesses are
expressive.

The Daily Living Skills domain assesses Personal, Domestic, and Community skills. These tasks include aspects of self-care, helping in
the home, and functioning in the community. Alexander received a standard score of 50 within this domain falling at the <1
percentile and in the low range. Alexander’s strengths are domestic, and community.

The Socialization domain focuses on skills surrounding Interpersonal Relations, Play and Leisure, and Coping Skills. Alexander
received a standard score of 27 within this domain falling at the <1 percentile and in the low range. Alexander’s strengths are coping
skills and relative weaknesses are interpersonal relationships and play and leisure.

The maladaptive scale assesses areas of concern regarding internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Scores between 1 to 17 are
considered Average, 18 to 20 Elevated, and 21 to 24 Clinically Significant. Alexander received a v-scale score of 15 for Internalizing
and 12 for Externalizing.

Overall, compared to his same-aged peers, Alexander’s adaptive skills across Communication, Socialization, and Daily Living skills are
below normal limits when compared to his same-aged peers. Alexander may require intervention in these areas: Communication,
Socialization, and Daily Living skills. Additionally, continuous monitoring of these skills is recommended to ensure acquisition of
social norms and motor skills. It is believed that the scores derived during this assessment are an accurate depiction of Alexander’s
abilities. Mrs. Orozco was confident in reporting her child’s strengths and weaknesses.

Family Priorities

Betzaida Rivera -Ash and the parent/guardian discussed short term goals for Alexander to include: Making appropriate vocal mands
of 4-5 word approximations in language that is understood by familiar adults and peers, and Improving Alexander’s independent
living skills (self-help, completing daily routines, household chores).

Long term aspirational goals include: Independently approach and interact with peers, navigate familiar community environments,
and behave appropriately in the community with adult supervision.

Progress Toward Goal: N/A
ABA Interventions: Errorless Learning

Generalization Training

The clinical team will plan for generalization at the onset of therapy. Various materials, items and instructions will be used, and
therapy will take place in various environments across different team members. Once skill acquisition goals are met, the clinical
team will generalize and maintain those skills by thinning reinforcement (moving from continuous to intermittent reinforcement
schedules) and fading prompts. As caregivers become more competent in implementing behavioral strategies, the clinical team will
slowly fade out their presence to allow for the parent to independently manage behaviors and take over programming. The result
should be a gradual decrease in direct therapy services and an increase in parent engagement sessions.

Assessment and Treatment Plan
Transition, Graduation, and Discharge

The long-term goal for Alexander is to transition to the home and community setting with limited support and function similar to
typically developing same-aged peers. Depending on the response and progress with treatment, Alexander’s ABA therapy hours will
gradually decrease. There will be a focus on generalization of skills and maintenance.

Additionally, collaboration with other services (i.e., school, speech/language therapy, pediatricians) will be implemented to determine
individual transition supports when appropriate. A formal transition plan will be initiated when Alexander has demonstrated
independence and consistent implementation of replacement behaviors across multiple individuals and settings for at least three
consecutive months.

Additionally, the frequency, duration, and/or intensity of Alexander’s challenging behaviors must reduce to no longer jeopardize
individual safety or the safety of others. In addition to reduction of challenging behavior, the clinical team will analyze Alexander’s
progress weekly to ensure skill acquisition targets have been generalized and maintained.

Part of generalization and maintenance includes fading out supports, thinning reinforcement to more natural schedules and
instructional control has been transferred to caregivers. Prior to transition, a meeting will be set with Alexander’s
parent/caregiver(s) and other professionals (e.g., teachers) to discuss progress since the inception of services, timeline of the fade-
out plan as well as recommendations for future support and services. Discharge will be considered when Alexander meets the
following goals for desired outcomes necessary for independent living.

Vineland Discharge Criteria

Alexander’s Vineland-3 score fall within two standard deviations below the means.

Alexander will demonstrate the ability to be independent in the home and community settings.

Overall Expected Outcome

The overall expected outcome includes increased and fluent expressive and receptive communication skills.

Alexander is expected to increase:

• Functional Communication with clearer speech.


• Become more independent with daily living skills.
• To learn how to wait for extended periods of time.
• To share with his younger brother.

Additionally, these acquired skills are expected to provide Alexander with the skills necessary to engage with peers and be an active
member of his social community.

Risks and Benefits

Potential Benefits

ABA therapy will ultimately increase skills used in the home, school, and community. It will provide the necessary intervention for
Alexander to be independent and learn functional daily living skills.

Potential Risks

Specific risk factors related to Alexander:

• Alexander has limited mand repertories. Parents will hold back on items that Alexander wants until a verbal mand is
attempted.
• Alexander Speaks in English and Spanish which limits the ability for others to understand him unless they speak English and

Assessment and Treatment Plan
Spanish. Treatment team will reinforce that Spanish is his home language and English is spoken in school.
• Responses are often rote and/or prompt bound. Treatment team will use visual prompts when appropriate and
systematically fade them.
• Alexander engages in parallel play but does not initiate social interaction with peers. Some therapy time will include
interactions with peers (swimming class, yoga, and center social skills group).
• Alexander will engage in repetitive vocalizations, rocking, and inappropriate laughing.
• Alexander can become restrictive in routines. Change to routine will be built into therapy sessions.
• It is not recommended Alexander’s technician receive QBS training.

Dosage/Service Level Recommendations and Medical Necessity

ABA Treatment Strategy and Dosage Recommendation

☐ Comprehensive Treatment Plan (intervention addressing multiple domains)

☒ Focused Treatment Plan (intervention addressing challenging behavior and up to two domains of deficit)

Based on the Treatment Goals and Associated ABA Program Plan as outlined herein, it is medically necessary that Alexander receive
15 hours per week of direct 1:1 ABA Intervention. Services are scheduled to occur for 15 hours per week in Alexander’s home and
community environments.

Based on a shared decision-making review of the Treatment Plan, the parents/guardians disagree with this Service Level
Recommendation

As a result of this determination, this plan will be:

The Assessing Clinician has discussed these recommendations with Mrs. Orozco. She would like to start with 12 hours of treatment
programs per week and will look to increasing in the future. Based on the assessment results, Alexander will benefit from and actively
participate in ABA treatment programs.
