BU will work directly with the family in order to teach how to change the behavior of their child.  BCBA will evaluate why behaviors are occurring and will formulate a training program in order to teach the family how to manage behaviors while at home and in the community.  An evaluation will take place prior to beginning family training and coaching in order to see how the family responds to the child’s behavior and to gather more information about why the behavior is occurring.

 BU will review the child’s current school program, placement, and IEP and will make recommendations in order to advocate for the child’s needs. There will be a consultation with the family, school observation, attendance in IEP meetings, and school consultations.

BU will develop a behavior plan either for the home/community environment or for the school environment in order to see a change in the child’s target behavior.  An FBA and evaluation will take place first in order to gather the information needed to put a behavior plan in place.  Once the plan has been written, the BCBA will review the plan with the family and/or school team.

Trainings will be developed and presented in order to educate and train different school providers in the areas of Autism, ABA, Behaviors, and Functional Skills. Can be public and private school staff, daycares, before/after school programs, camp staff, extracurricular staff, etc. Trainings can be developed based on the need of the organization.

BU will provide BCBA Supervision hours required by the BACB in order to sit for the exam

For older children, "hang outs" can be arranged to work on social skills out in the community.  Some community settings could be eating at restaurants, bowling, mini golf, amusement parks, etc.
