Field Based Behavior Support
We saw a need to support our clients to apply positive behavioral changes outside of the office, which is exactly why we designed the Field Based Behavior Support Program.
Our field-based Behaviorists are trained to work with your child in various settings to address problem behaviors. After observing your child in their natural environment and seeing the triggers of the problem behavior and the environmental supports of that behavior, we write and implement a behavior plan to be carried out. Every individualized behavior plan is tailored to each child’s specific needs, focusing on areas such as aggression, tantrums, social skills, and executive function skills. These plans are implemented in the environments where the child faces the most difficulty—whether at home, in school, in the community, etc. Here is where we practice and implement behavior, social and/or executive functioning skills that serve as roadblocks in the journey of achieving their full potential. Each behavior intervention is an empirically validated treatment that is overseen by a board-certified behaviorist and a licensed psychologist; in other words, our experts integrate proven strategies while tracking data to monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed.
In addition to working with children, our behaviorists also work with teens and young adults. If you are interested in learning more or booking services, call or email us and we will get back to you within 48 business hours.
