Why Choose the BECA
Digital Assessment?

  • ​Evidence-Based & Parent-Friendly: Developed by Dr. Mary Barbera, a leading international autism expert, BECA is designed to be easy to complete while providing meaningful insights about your child's development.
  • Comprehensive Yet Simple: BECA evaluates three major developmental areas:
    1. Self-Care & Daily Activities (eating, sleeping, potty training, dressing, and grooming)
    2. Language & Learning Skills (expressive and receptive language, social skills, imitation, and problem-solving)
    3. Behavioral Concerns (attention, cooperation, tantrums, aggression, and other problem behaviors)
  • Track Progress Over Time: Start with a baseline assessment and monitor your child's or client's growth over months and years. Families who follow The Barbera Method™ in our online courses and memberships have reported dramatic improvements in their child’s skills!

Hi, I'm Dr. Mary Barbera

I’ve been helping parents and professionals for over 25 years. First, I was a confused parent, and then became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, best-selling author, and online course creator.

Over the past 2 decades, I’ve worked directly with hundreds of children. I’ve also trained thousands of professionals and parents worldwide, through my online courses and international keynote speaking. During this time, countless children have made amazing gains.

But I remember what it’s like to be confused and unsure where to begin, that’s why I’ve created this easy-to-complete digital assessment. I want to help you feel empowered to identify your child or client’s strengths and needs and get started turning things around for them today!

All my best,

Mary
