Knospe-ABA Parent Survey:
Knospe-ABA has completed a three year survey covering every family that has participated in "in-home" consults with Knospe-ABA during our first 3 full years in existence (Jan. 2004 - Dec. 2006). We are currently working with over 200 families in Germany and its surrounding countries. With the families help, we are developing and implementing individualized ABA/VB programs in the home and school environment.
Knospe-ABA determines our success by two important criteria
|
|
1. Are the kids we work with making good progress?
|
|
|
2. Are the families we work for happy with our service?
|
To help us determine how we are doing on these two goals, we have developed a parent survey that has been given to every family who has received any service with Knospe-ABA from January 2004 to December 2006. The survey is broken into three parts.
Survey 1 (1-6 months)
This first survey represents the 78 returned surveys out of 147 families contacted during the first 6 months of service with Knospe-ABA. * Every survey returned (53%) has been included.
