Functional Behavior Assessment
A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is an assessment that analyzes the 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.
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.
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, replacement behaviors etc).
Bundles offered-Prices vary. Please contact for more information.
Parent Counseling & Training
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.
