If a child is exhibiting problematic behaviors, you can intervene, decreasing the negative behaviors, by introducing and reinforcing positive behaviors that take their place. We focus at one symptom at the time, knowing that each child is different. By taking each symptom your child gradual steady improvement in the child.

Our Intensive Behavior Program  (PP6092)

Is geared towards teaching empirically   validated intensive behavior interventions, using methods  of evidence based Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) to facilitate skill acquisition which allow for more independence. A goal of this teaching  approach is to provide a strong foundation of functional skills, and appropriate replacement skills  which can generalize to natural settings.  

Too many treatments in the past were so unpleasant that the child had to be dragged into the learning session, which caused unpleasant behaviors to start out with, and ignoring the behavior or even punishment was seen as the only alternative for the adult to prevent loosing control. In contrast, we promote individualized family centered and child friendly approaches, allowing the child to have fun while learning. He may not even realize he is “working”, because he enjoys what he is doing. The behavior intervention techniques are designed to fit into family daily interactions, therefore immediately improving family life. Parents learn what tools to use to create the right circumstances for adequate behavior.

Behaviorists are not miracle workers; they are partners with the parents going through this learning process.  That does not mean this will often be an easy process. But there isn’t anything the child can not master over time, with your continuing perseverance guided by the behaviorist. However, parents who give up on the goals they have for their children will cause them to fail. Find ways to appreciate your child, by focusing on his strengths and celebrating his progress.
