Clinical Assessment of Behavior (CAB)

Clinical Assessment of Behavior (CAB) is a structured process used by professionals to observe, measure, and understand an individual's behavior. It involves gathering information through direct observation, reports from the person or others, and sometimes standardized tools. The goal is to identify patterns, triggers, and functions of behaviors to inform effective interventions or treatment plans. CAB helps clinicians make objective, data-driven decisions to support behavioral change or manage challenging behaviors, ultimately enhancing the individual's well-being and daily functioning.
