Caregiver interview

An indirect assessment in which the behavior analyst asks parents or other caregivers structured or open questions about the client's behavior, history, routines, preferences, and family priorities.

Example from a session

At intake, a BCBA asks a parent when tantrums usually happen, what happens right after, and which skills matter most to the family.
