School Consultation and Shadowing
A Behavior Specialist or Consultant goes directly to the child’s school to teach school personnel ABA techniques on how to manage the child’s behaviors in the school environment. The therapist can also shadow the client (1:1) in the school environment.
*Please note that this service is only available if the School Principal and Class Teacher are willing to allow the Behavior Specialist or Consultant to visit the school.
Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)
FBA is a series of assessments used to comprehensively evaluate the language and communication, social, play, self-care, (pre)academic, adaptation skills of the client. A Functional Assessment Interview (FAI) with parents and/or school personnel, direct behavioral observation, and Stimulus Preference Assessments (SPA) are just a few of the methods of assessment. FBA is extremely useful in understanding the current level of client’s abilities while helping to create an individualized behavioral intervention plan (BIP). The BIP is a set of individualized in-home and/or school ABA program goals. It also helps determine the most effective structure of the behavioral intervention in the home, school, and community environments.
ABA Workshop/Group Parent Training
ABA worship and group parent training are sessions designed to help parents and caregivers gain knowledge and clinical skills in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and to learn how to effectively implement behavioral intervention on children in home and school.
Parents, school personnel, Students, Volunteers, Medical Personnel, and anyone interested in ABA are encouraged to attend.
