Our work comes from the heart, not just a textbook or manual. The starting point of therapy is believing in the ability and potential behind every individual.

What to expect as a School Behavior Technician?

School Behavior Technicians will be using a model of therapy referred to as _
Applied Behavior Analysis_
(_ABA)
_in the school setting

School Behavior Technicians are trained in evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis principles and provide behavioral support for students requiring 1:1 care.

The behavioral team analyzes environmental factors that may be inhibiting the student's ability to access their curriculum and works with the student's support team to most productively achieve their goals.

Our School Behavior Technicians receive ongoing training and supervision throughout the treatment period by a BCBA or a Master/Doctorate level ABA Supervisor.

Our ultimate goal is to enable the student to achieve the greatest possible academic, social, and emotional success in his/her school environment.

Effective ABA intervention is
not a "one size fits all" approach and should never be viewed as a "canned" set of programs or drills.

On the contrary, our multi-disciplinary team customizes the intervention to each learner's skills, needs, interests, developmental profile, preferences, and setting.
