WORKING WITH YOU
Once we establish what skills are the most meaningful to work on , we set about teaching those skills. We regularly track how the learner is doing with those skills and we make decisions about whether what we're doing is working, causing regression, or having no effect at all based on recurring data collection & analysis.

FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT
FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT
When appropriate we work with you to identify any challenging behaviors your child may be exhibiting.
We examine the "why" of those behaviors to determine their functions, i.e., what makes them effective.
From there, we develop a behavior plan with strategies specific to any given function of each challenging behavior being exhibited.
We look to create an environment that favors acting in more appropriate ways and reinforce or strengthen those behaviors while following the strategies outlined in the behavior plan. Data is collected throughout to verify the impact, if any, of the strategies being implemented. Successful strategies are continued. Ineffective strategies are altered or discontinued. This process is called Functional Behavior Assessment or FBA.
The FBA becomes a kind of blueprint for anyone to use (family members, teachers, coaches, etc) to help your child pivot to alternative, incompatible, & other ways to be that will help them become more successful in life. Just like an established tree whose roots grow deep, once your child sees the worth in socially adaptive behaviors there's no telling how much they will grow.
