School Training, Assessment, and Consultation
These programs are available by request from school districts through a private-pay contract agreement. These include flexible agreements where services can be provided as requested by the district either for general need or for specific individuals. These services are provided by one of our BCBAs.
Advanced Autism and Behavioral Trainings
This program includes a range of workshops, such as understanding functions of behavior, developing behavior intervention plans, teaching and encouraging communication and social skills, and using visuals in the classroom. Additional workshops are available upon request.
Functional Behavior Assessments
This package includes one to two observations, an analysis of collected behavior data, a full report with recommendations to include in a behavior plan, and a follow-up meeting to discuss the information covered.
Classroom and Student Consultation
This program includes a consultation for the school building, classroom, or a specific student. Consultations typically include giving teachers recommendations to implement to support students’ education and to reduce problematic behavior. Consultations may also include the development of forms, processes, and materials.
