Behavior Intervention Plans

Behavior Intervention Plans are developed from a Functional Behavior Assessment. Behavior Intervention Plans increase the acquisition and use of new alternative skills, decrease the problem behavior and facilitate general improvements in the quality of life of the individual, his or her family, and members of the support team.

Functional Communication Training

Functional Communication Training

Functional Communication Training (FCT) helps children communicate their needs in ways that can replace challenging behavior. Using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, FCT teaches a communication response that serves the same purpose as the behavior, such as asking for help, a break, attention, or a preferred item. Communication may include speech, signs, pictures, or a communication device, depending on the child's needs.
