IDD: Behavior Support

We help identify specific behaviors which may be problematic and assess the function or purpose of the behaviors to be addressed. An individualized program of intervention is then written including step-by-step guidelines for both the prevention of targeted behaviors and interventions to use when the identified behaviors occur. Our goal is to replace undesirable behavior with positive behaviors that promote effective social or personal interaction. We provide ongoing education and training to care providers and direct care staff to implement the program consistently. This is done in natural environments including the home, day program, etc. Programs are continuously monitored for effectiveness through data collection and ongoing contact with care providers and staff.
