Frequently Asked Questions

Behavior intervention involves the implementation of strategies and techniques to promote positive behavior change, reduce challenging behaviors, and teach new skills in individuals with behavioral concerns or developmental disabilities.

Individuals of all ages who exhibit challenging behaviors, such as aggression, self-injury, noncompliance, or social difficulties, can benefit from behavior intervention services, including children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, or emotional and behavioral disorders.

Behavior intervention utilizes evidence-based practices such as applied behavior analysis (ABA), functional behavior assessment (FBA), behavior modification techniques, reinforcement strategies, visual supports, and individualized behavior plans to address specific behavior goals and support skill development.
