About Possibilities ABA

Possibilities ABA is a rapidly expanding practice offering high-quality, compassionate Applied Behavioral Analysis(ABA) and Autism-diagnostic evaluations for children and adolescents suspected of or known to have ASD.

• Independently formulate differential diagnoses related to autism spectrum disorder and co-occurring conditions (e.g., ADHD, anxiety, developmental delays).
• Independently produce clear, clinically sound diagnostic formulations consistent with DSM-5-TR criteria.
• Prepare brief psychological evaluation reports that summarize findings, diagnostic conclusions, and individualized recommendations.
• Provide verbal feedback to families on evaluation findings and recommendations.
• Collaborate with a supportive team of psychologists to improve skills and the assessment process, including participating in CE trainings, sharing report templates, and professional consultation.
