We also offer intensive one-on-one parent training. This consists of basic principles and techniques of ABA specific to your child's current needs to increase your child's independence, daily living skills, and communication as well as providing an opportunity for the child to generalize skills across their different environments. We coach you through behavior interventions and provide guidance and assistance on the implementation of ABA strategies.

Functional Behavior Analysis (FBA) is an attempt to identify the maintaining variables of a particular behavior and hypothesize what function it may be serving for a child. Truly understanding why a child behaves the way he or she does is the first, best step to developing an effective intervention.

Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) takes the observations made in an FBA or FA and turns them into a concrete plan of action for managing a child's behavior. A BIP may include ways to change the environment to keep behavior from starting in the first place, provide positive reinforcement to promote desired behavior, and/or withhold reinforcement from undesired behavior.
