-Increasing attention & Executive Functioning
-Improving sleep and eating habits
-Reinforcing social skills and social-emotional coping strategies

Direct ABA Services involve a Behavior Analyst who develops individualized skill acquisition and behavior intervention programming tailored to your individual child’s needs. These services focus on building meaningful skills, such as those outlined above, within naturally occurring environments. During sessions, the BCBA integrates into your daily routines to promote functional skill development and behavior improvement. Whether at home, in the grocery store, at the park, or visiting family, the BCBA works within your child’s real-life settings to support the most natural and effective learning opportunities.
Our Behavior Consultation Services provide expert BCBA consultation across a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, clinics, private practices and in collaboration with related service providers such as teachers, OTs, SLPs, and psychologists. Through an objective, outside perspective, BCBAs support teams by offering guidance on caseloads, conducting assessments, developing behavior plans, and modeling evidence-based strategies. Services also include staff training and ongoing collaboration and modeling to ensure each client receives comprehensive, high-quality behavioral support across all environments.

Assessments & Plans
Functional Behavior Assessment
A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is an assessment that analyzes the enviornmental triggers and consequences that cause, maintain and grow problem behaviors. This assessment is a pivotal piece of knowing why behaviors occur, which in turn helps to complete the puzzle on how to extinguish these behaviors through intervention and programming.
Behavior Intervention Plan
A BIP is a personalized intervention plan that addresses behavior change according to the direct cause of the behaviors. Behavior plans tackle behaviors using preventative, consequential and environmental methods along with teaching the skills needed to replace maladaptive behaviors with functional alternatives (e.g., teaching communication, tolerance, coping skills, etc).
Skill Acquisition Assessment
A skill acquisition assessment tests the client's current skill level. Some common domains measured are: academics (math, reading), communication, socialization, adaptive behavior, visual perception, leisure/play abilities, classroom/group routines and barriers to treatment. This assessment can then be used to inform goal development for individualized programming.
Vocational Assessment
A vocational assessment is a structured evaluation used to determine readiness for employment and identify the types of jobs, environments, and supports that would be the best fit based on current skills and interests.
At its core, it answers: What can this person do, what do they enjoy, and what supports do they need to succeed at work?
Workshops & Trainings
Parent Training & Counseling
Parent Training and Counseling allows BCBAs to explain the programs & interventions being implemented. In addition, BCBAs go in-depth on why & how interventions and skill acquisition goals are programmed. This allows parents to follow through on client goals when the practitioner isn't present. Parent training is recommended for optimal results and generalization of treatment. Parent training also allows for parents and BCBAs to have an open dialogue and collaborate on decisions in the best interest of the client.
Staff Trainings & Workshops
We offer customized staff trainings and workshops designed to equip educators, clinicians, and support staff with practical, evidence-based strategies they can immediately apply in their daily practice. Led by our Clinical Director, our trainings go beyond theory, focusing on real-world implementation, problem-solving, and building confidence across team members.
