Outcome Measures

Completing Outcome Measures

To help create an individualized TP and track your child’s progress, there are specific outcome measures to begin and continue receiving ABA services. They are due every six months and/or yearly, based on the measure. You and your child’s ABA provider should complete outcome measures together no earlier than 90 days before their due date.

If you need help with outcome measures, call your child’s ASN at 866-323-7155 for help.
