Behavior Support Services
The Behavior Support Services division is an outpatient clinic specializing in the reduction of challenging behavior and the acquisition of appropriate behavior and skills. Procedures are grounded in the principles of applied behavior analysis and other evidence-based practices.
Services Provided
We offer evaluation, outpatient, and intensive outpatient services to individuals aged 2+. Following an intake evaluation, the clinical team may recommend outpatient or intensive outpatient (6+ hours per week) services based on individual behavioral presentation and therapeutic goals. Our clinic setting also provides a safe place to evaluate and treat high-risk behaviors. We provide services in the clinic, as well as school- and home-based services. Therapy sessions are conducted by trained therapists under the supervision of a board-certified behavior analyst at the doctoral level (BCBA-D). Each individual moves through the program based on his or her individual needs. Specific services provided include:
- Function-based assessment
- Functional analysis
- Behavior plans
- Interventions
- Training for parents and professionals
- Follow-up and consultation
- School-based and home-based supports
