Following the assessment, based on your child’s unique needs, the BCBA will provide information and feedback for the caregivers to implement with their child over the next few weeks. The BCBA will maintain communication with the caregivers by providing a 30 minute Zoom follow up at 2 weeks and 6 weeks.
