ABA Treatment Package
What is Our Assessment Process?
Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) conduct a two-part initial assessment, to establish a child’s developmental profile and current initial behavioral targets for treatment. The first part of the assessment involves a clinical interview with the parents. The second part of the test involves one-on-one observation and interaction with your child. The results of the assessment are utilized to develop a comprehensive and individualized plan for ABA treatment.
Although we do not provide autism testing, many children can start treatment prior to their evaluation. Camino will help with the evaluation process.
ABA Therapy in Albuquerque
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a discipline that focuses on analyzing, designing, and implementing meaningful changes in behavior. ABA uses direct observation, measurement, and functional autism tests to determine the environmental variables affecting one’s behavior. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) utilize the principles and procedures of ABA to create carefully constructed, individualized treatment plans that produce practical and significant change.
ABA has been endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General, and the American Academy of Pediatrics as an effective treatment for reducing challenging behavior and increasing communication, learning, and appropriate social behavior for individuals with Autism.

ABA Program Elements
ABA programs are meant to be tailored to the needs of each patient they benefit. They should be flexible enough to help patients reach various behavior goals using an array of techniques and approaches.
Planning a program begins with thorough testing of a learner’s needs, skills, and living conditions. Treatment goals are established based on a combination of these factors, including the patient’s family situation.
Typically, treatment goals fall into one or more of several categories, including social skills, play, motor skills, academic skills, communication, behavior reduction, and self-care.
Above all, ABA program tests and treatment plans should not be overwhelming. Instead, they should be broken down into step-by-step processes to help patients reach their goals over time
Comprehensive ABA Testing for Autism
At Camino we also help families find the right autism testing provider for their child. We are a New Mexico-based ABA provider that believes that successful outcomes become possible when science and compassion meet. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a scientific discipline that focuses on analyzing, designing, and implementing meaningful changes in behavior, under the direction and supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
Using direct observation, measurement, and functional assessments, we’re able to determine the environmental variables affecting each child’s behavior. This allows us to create personalized plans designed to improve key areas like language and communication, socialization, independent living skills, and more. Depending on each child’s unique goals, treatment may focus on language development, motor skills, play, perceptual skills, pre-academic skills, daily living skills, and reducing behaviors that pose challenges.
Treatment always provides flexibility in terms of making necessary changes to goals. Progress should be measured through therapy sessions and regular reviews after initial testing at our Albuquerque office.
