Services We Offer
Crisis services at Behavior Network
Behavior Network treats individuals of all ages with severe challenging behaviors like verbal and physical aggression, self-injury and property destruction. The primary focus of this program is to conduct a functional analysis and effectively treat challenging behavior utilizing ABA procedures. Once the behaviors are managed at a safe level, we train parents, caregivers and teachers how to successfully manage these behaviors by following the developed behavior intervention plan. This program heavily relies upon involvement of all caregivers to actively participate with the client as they will be implementing the prescribed treatment procedures and tracking the client’s progress. We require all caregivers living in the home with our clients to complete Safety-Care for Families™ training which is done by one of our BCBA’s.
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a broad range of culturally appropriate practices and systems of school-wide, classroom and individualized strategies for achieving social and learning outcomes while preventing challenging behaviors. The focus is on prevention and proactive intervention to inhibit behavior problems before they begin. Behavior Network employees who utilize time out procedures and/or restraint are trained in Safety-Care.
Dr. Gregory Hanley has provided research-based assessments and interventions in which dignity, respect, and safety of students and clients is prioritized. Skill-Based Treatment (SBT) is a comprehensive and flexible method that can teach alternatives to replace severe challenging behavior. With a trauma-informed approach, SBT acknowledges the effect of trauma on individuals and applies it to the teaching process. Additionally, SBT uses variable schedules of reinforcement, improving the generalization of learned skills by making contingencies more natural and less predictable. SBT recognizes the possible existence of trauma on students with disabilities and recognizes how that trauma can manifest in affect, behavior, and well-being. Combining teaching with trauma-informed approach involves creating a supportive environment that promotes safety, trust, happiness, and engagement. Behavior Network employs a certified SBT trainer in order to provide additional training to in house staff.
