Not sure which plan to assign? This 30-question assessment will recommend a training plan based on caregiver and learner needs. The Pathway to Progress Assessment helps you and the parent identify the best training plan based on their child’s needs and family priorities. This tool provides guidance, but your clinical judgment should be used when selecting the final plan.
How to Use the Assessment
Sit with the parent and guide them through the questions, ensuring they understand each option.
Encourage honest responses based on their child’s needs and family priorities. Completing all the questions will trigger the results and break down the parent's responses to recommend a plan that fit's the family.
Use the form to the right to record the results and document your thoughts and the parent's additional comments. Submitting this form will email you the information you entered.
Use your clinical judgment and the other information you gather when reviewing the recommended plan to choose the plan that's right for the family.
Once the assessment and form are complete, scroll down to download the suggested plan or explore other options if needed.
There are 30 questions in the assessment so be sure to schedule enough time with the parent so they don't feel pressured or rushed. Encourage them to not "overthink" each question but provide their instinctual response.
Leaving this page will reset the assessment. This allows you to complete the assessment with multiple families. Make sure to document the results in the form to the right (or below the assessment if on mobile).
Learn more about each ACHIEVE Parent Training Plan and what’s included. Each plan is built around a set of lessons designed to meet common family needs and goals.

The Pathway to Progress Assessment is designed to guide you to the most appropriate starting plan based on family needs, but clinical judgment is always essential. If the recommended plan doesn’t feel like a perfect fit, you can review the Plan Matrix to see a detailed breakdown of which lessons are included in each plan. This allows you to compare plans and select the one that best matches the family's goals and priorities. You also have the option to assign individual lessons instead of a full plan. Use the Lessons by Category section in the top menu to view and assign lessons organized by skill area. This gives you the flexibility to create a fully customized training path when needed.
Absolutely! ACHIEVE is designed to be flexible so you can meet each family's individual needs.
If a full plan doesn’t match perfectly, you can assign specific lessons instead. Use the Lessons by Category section in the top menu to view all available lessons organized by skill area (e.g., communication, social skills, behavior reduction). To make this process even easier, you can download the Custom Lesson Assignment Guide, which includes links and QR codes (if available) to each lesson category page. The guide also contains a simple, fillable table where you can:
✔ Write the category and specific lessons you want the parent to complete
✔ Track Lesson Complete and Quiz Complete using easy checkboxes
This approach allows you to fully customize the parent's training experience without overwhelming them — and without needing to manage multiple separate handouts.
Each ACHIEVE Parent Guide includes a QR code that links caregivers directly to their assigned lessons. Parents can scan the QR code with a smartphone or tablet to easily access their training portal without needing a login.
QR codes are included with the ACHIEVE Professional package. If you purchased a different level of ACHIEVE and would like to add QR code access for your families, please contact us at [email protected] to upgrade your plan.
You can easily reassess and assign a new plan at any time. Use your clinical discretion based on family progress and changing needs.
Use the Progress Tracker Template in each Parent Guide to document weekly notes, goals, and any skill milestones the family achieves.
