Our Services
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
We conduct comprehensive assessments to understand the causes of challenging behaviors. By identifying what triggers and reinforces behavior, we can develop effective, individualized intervention plans.
Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP)
Based on the results of the assessment, we create structured behavior plans that teach positive skills and reduce problematic behaviors using evidence-based techniques.
Data Collection & Progress Monitoring
We use real-time data collection to track behaviors and progress toward treatment goals. This allows us to adjust strategies and ensure interventions are working effectively.
Parent and Caregiver Training
We empower parents and caregivers with tools to support behavior goals at home. Training includes how to reinforce positive behaviors, manage challenges, and build communication and independence skills.
School and Community Consultation
Our team collaborates with teachers, schools, and community organizations to create consistent support across all environments where your child learns and grows.
Skill Acquisition Programs
We offer programs to teach essential life skills, including communication, self-help, and social interaction, using techniques from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
Early Intervention Services
Our early intervention programs support young children with developmental delays or autism spectrum disorder through play-based ABA, promoting foundational skills during critical developmental periods.
Social Skills Training
Using group or individual formats, we teach children and adolescents appropriate social behaviors, such as turn-taking, emotional regulation, and friendship-building skills.
Behavior Reduction Strategies
We help decrease behaviors such as aggression, self-injury, noncompliance, or tantrums through individualized plans focused on teaching alternative, functional behaviors.
Generalization and Maintenance Support
We ensure that learned behaviors carry over into new settings and are maintained over time, promoting long-term success and independence.
