What Our Customers Have to Say

"The AFLS has been a huge asset to the assessment and intake process for our clients.  When they are beyond the ABLLS and require programming that focuses on functional living skills such as chores, compliance, following routines, and participating in social scenarios, the AFLS is our go to.  The programming and grid system allow parents and teachers to see the individual’s current skill level and progress and allows us as clinicians to choose the next targets with ease.  The AFLS protocol supports our clients as they continue to work towards participating in their daily life at school and in their homes."

—Kelly, BCBA CA
