Yes, we can collaborate directly with your child’s teacher and school district to ensure consistent support across all environments. We believe that A Bright Future is Waiting for Your Child, and achieving that often requires a unified approach between home and school.
Our school support and consultation services are designed to bridge the gap between clinical strategies and the classroom. We partner with school teams to translate evidence-based strategies into daily routines through several key actions:
- School District ABA Consultation: We work alongside educators and paraprofessionals to provide training on data collection and positive behavior supports.
- Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA): Our BCBAs conduct these assessments within the school to identify the root causes of challenging behaviors and recommend practical classroom strategies.
- Individualized Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP): We co-create these plans with school staff to ensure they align with your child’s IEP or 504 goals.
- IEP Advocacy: We can attend IEP meetings with you to advocate for appropriate supports and help integrate Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy methodologies into the classroom.
You’re not on your own in navigating the school system. By coordinating with your child’s teachers, we help embed consistent behavioral supports so your child can more fully access their education. Please consult with a healthcare professional for diagnosis or treatment advice. Results may vary based on individual patient circumstances.
