Course Description
Effective intake is the foundation of ethical, efficient, and clinically sound multidisciplinary care. This session presents a collaborative intake model co-led by the Director of Patient Services and the Head of an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) department within a multidisciplinary mental health and educational practice.
Using intake metrics, insurance benefit analyses, functional behavior screening data, and service conversion outcomes, presenters will demonstrate how behavioral, psychological, environmental, and systems-level variables are integrated from the first point of contact. The session highlights how structured intake processes improve treatment alignment, reduce service delays, and support data-based referral decisions across ABA, psychological testing, and therapeutic services.
