Simple Ways to Track Your Child’s Progress in ABA Therapy

Every child’s journey in ABA therapy is unique. Tracking progress helps you see what’s working, what needs adjusting, and how your child is gaining new skills. It also allows you to stay actively involved in their growth.

Review Data with Your BCBA

Behavior analysts collect data during every session. Ask your BCBA to share updates, explain graphs, and highlight patterns so you can clearly see progress.

Keep a Parent Journal

Note any new skills, behaviors, or milestones you see at home. Even small changes—like following directions or making eye contact—show meaningful growth.

Set and Revisit Goals

Work with your therapy team to set measurable goals. Checking in regularly helps you see how close your child is to mastering each step.

Success in ABA isn’t only about big breakthroughs. Every small success is a reason to celebrate and encourage your child’s confidence.
