Assessments
Record the assessment where the plan gets written.
ABACare records raw scores and totals, stores the standard scores a clinician enters, and does not calculate licensed scoring. A finalized assessment can feed a treatment plan draft.
Three ways an instrument is handled.
Each instrument is either recorded as a raw score or stored from clinician entry. The table says which.
| Instrument | In ABACare | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| ABAS-3 | Clinician-entered | Your clinician enters the composite score; ABACare stores it. |
| AFLS | Recorded | ABACare records the raw score. |
| PEAK | Recorded | ABACare records the raw score. |
| FAST | Recorded | ABACare records the raw total. The scoring key is not loaded, and no norms are invented. |
| QABF | Recorded | ABACare records the raw totals. No norms are invented. |
| Vineland-3 | Clinician-entered | A clinician enters the standard scores from the published instrument, and ABACare stores them. |
| VB-MAPP | Recorded | A clinician records the results. ABACare does not score them or hold the item bank. |
| ABLLS-R | Recorded | A clinician records the results. ABACare does not score them or hold the item bank. |
FAST and QABF carry no invented norms.
The scorers for FAST and QABF report what the responses show. They do not add a norm that the instrument does not supply.
From a finalized assessment to a plan draft.
When a clinician finalizes an assessment, its scores can start a treatment plan draft. The BCBA still edits the draft, completes the AI attestation and approves the plan.
A worked example, one assessment through to a draft.
An example with invented figures, to show how the steps connect. It is not a customer result and not a prediction for your clinic.
Create
A BCBA creates an assessment for an invented client and chooses the instrument.
Record
The clinician records the assessment data. For Vineland-3, that means entering the standard scores.
Finalize
The BCBA finalizes the assessment, so the scores are the version the plan will use.
Use
A treatment plan draft can start from the finalized scores. The BCBA edits and approves it.
What ABACare does today, and what it does not.
- Does: score ABAS-3, AFLS, PEAK, FAST and QABF.
- Does: store the standard scores a clinician enters for Vineland-3.

Questions about assessments.
- Which instruments does ABACare score?
- ABAS-3, AFLS, PEAK, FAST and QABF.
- Does ABACare score the VB-MAPP or the ABLLS-R?
- No. A clinician can record their results. ABACare does not score them or hold their item banks.
- What happens with a Vineland-3?
- A clinician enters the standard scores from the published instrument. ABACare stores them with the assessment.
- Can an assessment start a treatment plan?
- A finalized assessment can start a treatment plan draft. A BCBA edits and approves the plan.
- Can I try this without real client data?
- Yes. The live demo is a fictional clinic: no password and no PHI. Start free opens a sandbox on synthetic data. Self-serve real client data requires a signed BAA and verified active Type-2 organization NPI; production use also follows a separate readiness approval.
