Securing school-based behavioral support is a collaborative process, and it is important to remember that you’re not on your own. We partner directly with Illinois school districts to align evidence-based strategies with your child’s academic goals.
To get started with school support and consultation, follow these steps:
- Contact us for a consultation: Reach out to our team to discuss the specific challenges your child is facing in the classroom. We will explain how we collaborate with Illinois school teams to support student outcomes.
- Request a formal evaluation: We can conduct a functional behavior assessment in Illinois schools to pinpoint the root causes of challenging behaviors. This evaluation serves as the foundation for an evidence-based individualized behavior intervention plan.
- Coordinate with the school district: With your consent, we connect with the school to schedule observations and meetings. We share our professional recommendations and detailed evaluations with the special education department to ensure your child’s needs are formally recognized.
- Integrate support into the IEP or 504 plan: We can join you at IEP meetings to advocate for appropriate supports, helping to translate ABA strategies into daily classroom routines.
- Establish ongoing collaboration: Once a plan is in place, our BCBAs maintain regular communication with teachers and staff to monitor progress and adjust interventions as needed.
A Bright Future is Waiting for Your Child, and we are here to help them Succeed with ABA in the natural learning environment of the classroom.
