Assessments as a starting place for DTT... Question

[Guest guest]

While reading various behavior manuals we've come across the ABLLS-R - The

Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills as an essential way to assess

current skill levels from which to base lessons and therapy upon. When I asked

our ABA provider if this would be done for my son she replied that instead they

used the Mullen Scales of Early Learning, ADOS, and the Vineland. But it's my

(limited) understanding that these tests assess risk and the spectrum of autism

and not the specific skills that would be addressed during therapy. Is this

true? Could someone elucidate the differences in these assessments for me?

Thank you very much,

Dana Weber
