Frequently Asked Questions

Behavior Consultation is a subspecialty area of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA therapy). Behavior consultation is provided on a smaller scale, in a less intensive model, but follows the same science and principals to create behavior change. Behavior consultation is utilized to increase desired behavior and functional skills while decreasing challenging behavior. 

Our services are provided directly from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
