Levels of Optimum Performance (LOOP): Structured Interviews for the MOTAS

The first part of the MOTAS Assessment, the Levels of Optimum Performance interviews are information-gathering tools for clinicians to use with:

• Parents/caregivers of individuals with autism and related disorders (LOOP)
• Clients (when appropriate) (LOOP-C, Client)
• Other professionals involved in the individual’s care (LOOP-P, Professional)

Each booklet contains all 3 interviews, ensuring that everyone involved in the client’s care has a voice regarding the treatment plan and is kept “in the loop” with regard to treatment, expectations, and progress.

Each booklet also contains 3 additional Staying in the LOOP interviews, which assess changes in each domain over time. 

Benefits of the LOOP System:

• Gathers input from parties most impacted by treatment plans (clients, parents/caregivers, others close to the client).
• Allows for decisions related to treatment plans to build from and expand beyond a professional's decisions, which are based on diagnosis, assessment results, and characteristics of the client's behavior.
• Leads to the development of more relevant IEPs, behavior reduction plans, and treatment plans, which then leads to achieving more meaningful goals.

*The LOOP Structured Interviews are meant to be used in partnership with the Meaningful Outcomes Treatment & Assessment Scales (MOTAS).

**The LOOP interviews are criterion-referenced measures, meaning that the questions and related scales are based on predetermined objective standards (in contrast to norm-referenced assessments, which compare an individual’s performance to that of others in a normative group).
