Behavior Management

“When a flower doesn’t bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

What is Waiver Behavior Management?

Dream it.

Behavioral supports are an array of services designed to support individuals who are experiencing or are likely to experience challenges accessing, and actively participating in the community as a result of behavioral, social, or emotional challenges.

Behavioral support services are intended to empower individuals and families (by leveraging their strengths and unique abilities) to achieve self-determination, interdependence, productivity, integration and inclusion in all facets of community life, across all environments, across the lifespan.

Build it.

Behavioral services assist in:

  • Creating an individualized Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Support Plan

  • Replacing negative behaviors with prosocial replacement behaviors

  • One-on-one support for the individual and family in implementing the Behavior Support Plan

  • Increasing behaviors such as speech, social communication skills, daily living skills, tolerance of non-preferred activities, and more

  • Reducing negative thoughts and self-talk, aggressive behavior, off-task behavior, and more

Grow it.
