What are Behavior Intervention Services?

Behavior Intervention services utilize principles derived from the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). After initial assessment, a behavior specialist creates both a behavior intervention and treatment plan to address and prevent inappropriate behaviors as well as establish positive reinforcement strategies and goals to increase appropriate skills.

TES provides behavioral intervention services in the school, home or community settings. The program is overseen by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) and services include one-to-one support and clinical supervision provided by Master’s level case supervisors. Direct behavior support is provided by well-trained behavior specialists who work within treatment plans and IEP goals to reduce/eliminate problematic behaviors while teaching functional skills such as communication, social and “learning-to-learn” skills. Students are presented with multiple opportunities to practice the skills. Teaching strategies include functional communication training, imitation training, prompting, shaping, chaining and differential reinforcement. Emphasis is placed on encouraging functional communication, and increasing student’s flexibility and independence.

Most often, behavior interventions are based on Functional Behavior Assessments, the cornerstone of ABA, a well-established method for discovering the function of problem behaviors. This information enables the design of interventions that target adaptive replacement behaviors that serve the same function. Behavior therapy is designed to help improve a person’s overall quality of life.

What makes a Behaviorist?

A behavior interventionist works with a range of students with a variety of eligibilities. These specialists are responsible for implementing the student’s schedule and curriculum as designed by the educational team. A BA in a ABA or a related field is preferred, but 2-3 years of experience is accepted.

What are the Benefits of Behavior Support?

Children thrive with newfound academic and social skills

As a part of a comprehensive individualized plan, students can benefit across all levels of academics and socialization in a school setting. Students, peers and their teachers learn to work together to maximize learning opportunities. Some students benefit from having a behavior interventionist with them throughout the school day to fully access the curriculum and to stay on task. Other students may benefit from having a BCBA work directly with staff to make modifications and accommodations to the curriculum and environment. Each student has unique needs, and our team of behavior support personnel is trained to make the most of each child’s strengths.
