behavioral support services

Behavior support services include assessment, training and intervention to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who experience challenging and complex behaviors. Often, these behaviors can leave families feeling frustrated and can make it difficult for your loved one to participate in family activities and events, attend day programs, or have meaningful employment. We are trained in strategies and techniques to address challenging behaviors to help both families and support teams achieve the best possible outcomes.

Strengthen Family Interactions

Often, behaviors that are seen as problematic are the only way your loved one can communicate their needs. Problematic behaviors often lead to isolation both for families and those who experience it. Often this is due to communication issues and unfamiliarity of what healthy relationships look like. Skills can help your loved one learn how to interact more effectively. We help identify and address the underlying causes of challenging behavior to help ease family interactions through improved understanding.
