Community Behavior Intervention Services

Within the framework of ‘positive programming’, ABC offers behavioral services to parents, Community Care Facilities (CCF), and schools. General intervention programs include parent education training, certified care-provider training, and functional analysis assessment/consultation to school district personnel. The focus of this service is to teach the underlying behavioral principles that effect behavior change. That is, we systematically teach new skills that are socially significant (useful and purposeful in daily life) while decreasing or eliminating behavior excesses that interfere with learning or maintaining existing skills. Because behavior intervention is a short-term treatment, ABC uses a “trainer to trainer” approach to teaching. The emphasis is on developing a range of skills in the parents’, caregivers’, and teachers’ repertoire so they continue to be effective in maintaining desirable behavior changes and generalizing their skills to address new problem behaviors when they arise.

The format or focus of these services varies but generally consists of one or more of the following:

Functional Assessments
Assessment and Intervention
Group Parent or In-home Parent Training
Assessment/Consultation in school district classrooms
Care-provider training and consultation in community care facilities and day programs
Picture Exchange Communication (PECS) training
Hughes Bill Regulations training
Positive Programming Techniques implementation
