Our Five-Step Client Intake & Therapy Process

A collaborative, individualized approach to assessment, treatment planning, and therapy.

Initial Inquiry & Appointment Scheduling
Getting Started

Families contact the clinic to arrange an initial consultation. Our administrative team collects basic information about the child, family concerns, and requested services, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, and occupational therapy.

Our Goal

Identify the family’s needs and arrange an initial consultation.

Initial Consultation & Developmental History
Parent Interview and Intake

The Clinical Director meets caregivers to complete intake forms, review history, identify priorities, and discuss the child’s strengths and concerns. Observations may cover communication, adaptive skills, social interaction, play, learning, and behavior.

Our Goal

Understand the child’s developmental profile and determine appropriate next steps.

Comprehensive Assessment
Direct and Indirect Assessment

The Clinical Director recommends assessments after consultation. These may include interviews, developmental history, rating scales, record reviews, and observation in natural settings. When indicated, an FBA explores behavior and its possible function too.

Our Goal

Identify strengths, skill deficits, behavioral needs, and treatment priorities.

Treatment Planning & Parent Collaboration
Individualized Treatment Plan

The Clinical Director reviews findings with the family and creates an individualized plan. Goals may address communication, social skills, adaptive behavior, play, learning, and independence. The team discusses services, strategies, data, and progress.

Our Goal

Establish measurable goals and a collaborative plan with the family.

Begin Therapy & Monitor Progress
Implementation and Ongoing Evaluation

Once the plan and arrangements are finalized, therapy begins. Qualified therapists use evidence-based procedures under clinical supervision. Progress is tracked through data collection, observation, and skill monitoring, with interventions adjusted when needed.

Our Goal

Build meaningful skills, increase independence, and support generalization across environments.

Our Commitment to Families

At Trusted Support Therapeutic Clinic, we believe every child deserves individualized, compassionate, and evidence-based care. We work collaboratively with families to develop meaningful goals, celebrate progress, and support each child’s communication, independence, and quality of life.

Clinical note

Functional behavior assessment is conducted when indicated; it is not automatically required for every child. Assessment and treatment recommendations are determined by qualified professionals according to individual needs.
