Some behavioral challenges — aggression, self-injury, elopement — need focused, individualized clinical attention beyond standard session goals. This is where behavior support comes in.
What This Service Includes
A functional behavior assessment identifying the specific triggers and function behind a behavior of concern, followed by a positive, non-punitive behavior support plan built specifically for your child. See Understanding the Function of Behavior for the framework behind this approach.
Who This Is For
Families navigating specific, significant behavioral challenges that need more than general treatment goals — always built on individualized assessment, never generic advice.
Our Approach
We do not use aversive or punishment-based procedures, consistent with current ethical standards in the field. Read more in our honest discussion of Positive Behavior Support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a separate service from individual ABA therapy?
It's typically integrated into your child's overall treatment plan rather than billed as a fully separate service, though it may involve additional BCBA assessment time for complex behaviors.
Do you handle self-injurious behavior or aggression?
Yes — these require individualized clinical assessment, which we provide directly; see our detailed guides on aggression and self-injurious behavior for what this involves.
What if there's a safety concern?
Safety planning is always the first priority — contact us directly, and for immediate safety concerns, follow the guidance on our Emergency Resources page. --- *This page is part of our Services guide.*
