For students with a developmental delayed profile, GABS follows the PA alternative standards.  The following assessments may be used to assess the present levels for each child: VB-MAPP, Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), Relational Frame Theory Training System Assessment (PEAK), Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS-3), Pervasive Developmental Disorder Behavior Inventory (PDDBI), Essentials for Living Assessment, Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS), ABLLS-R, Vineland-II, etc. A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) will also be conducted for each child to address atypical or disruptive behaviors that significantly interferes with learning and daily functioning and activities, or that poses a risk to the student or others. A Positive Behavior Support Plan and Functional Communication Training will be implemented to address skill deficits and replacement behaviors as a result of FBA findings.
