We aim to support your child's development and empower caregivers to create lasting change by teaching essential skills required for generalization.
3 step approach to goals
-
decrease inappropriate or maladaptive behaviors
This can be different for each child. The protocol is also client specific. Extinction procedure is typically used to reduce undesirable behaviors.
-
Increase appropriate behaviors
You cannot decrease a behavior without replacing it with a new, more functional one. We need to find a functional replacement and heavily reinforce it while extinguishing the old behavior.
-
Parent training
Our model relies heavily on parent involvement and training. We gain the child’s trust and increase response rates. We then train parents to transfer the “instructional control.”
This can be a difficult process as children have a longer history of certain patterns with their parents; however, it is possible!
