Consultations
For those clients whose needs do not fit into our other models and providers/educational professionals who require assessments, we do offer an ABA therapy consultation service. Our consultation service can be used on an hourly basis with one of our behavior analysts as a provider.
For families
Often a consultation service is a parent training program. The BCBA meets with the parent to discuss concerns and assess the client, and then is guided to employ a behavior plan in the home. The BCBA and parent would discuss the further guidance and support needed and create a schedule for follow-ups and check-ins. This service can also include review of IEPs and/or IEP attendance and advocacy.
For professionals
This service can also be used for one of our behavior analysts to attend IEP meetings, assist with FBA's, and/or assist with assessing an individual's needs and creating a plan of care.
What happens at a consultation?
We’ll start by learning more about the individual, their family, their household, and/or school setting. We also discuss day-to-day issues, review handouts explaining ABA principles, and talk about goals. We'll we’ll ask key questions and conduct assessments that will help us design an individualized treatment and/or behavior plan that will best fit the client and all involved.
