Changing the Lives of

Children and Adults

Developmental and Behavioral Consultants provide a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to supporting individuals and families facing developmental and behavioral challenges. Their comprehensive evaluations focus on understanding the person’s overall functioning—beyond just the diagnosis—and designing tailored programs that address the unique needs of the family.

The key elements of their approach include:

Developmental Assessment: Evaluating behavior, social skills, and academic ability to get a full picture of the individual's needs and strengths.
Reflex Integration: Addressing how reflex patterns affect behavior, function, and providing therapies to help integrate these reflexes for better outcomes.
Nutrition and Supplementation: Recognizing the role of nutrition in brain and body development and providing guidance on nutritional strategies to support well-being.
Neurodevelopmental Insights: Using our expertise to explain how various neurodevelopmental factors relate to specific symptoms and concerns, which helps families understand and manage challenges more effectively.
Diverse Expertise: Alison and Matthew bring a wide range of training and experience, starting with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and extending to methods like Greenspan, Functional Communication Training, The Movement Program, and more. Their continuous learning demonstrates a commitment to providing the best possible interventions for everyone.

This approach not only offers a deep dive into developmental and behavioral aspects but also ensures that interventions are personalized to the specific needs of the individual, with an eye toward improving overall functioning and quality of life.

Behavioral and Developmental Consultation Service Overview

We offer individualized, family-focused behavioral and developmental interventions designed to address skill deficits and reduce interfering behaviors for children and families. Our service emphasizes the critical role of family involvement in supporting the child’s growth and learning.

Key Features of Our Approach:

Family-Centered Training and Support:
- Individualized Programs: Tailored to the unique needs of each family, taking into account cultural beliefs, family dynamics, and specific concerns.
- Family Engagement: Parents, guardians, siblings, and extended family members actively participate in the intervention, which is critical for the effective transfer of skills. Training helps families learn strategies for managing challenging behaviors and teaching functional replacement behaviors.
Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies:
- Modified Discrete Trial Training (DTT): An empirically validated approach to early intervention that focuses on behavior reduction and skill acquisition across multiple domains.
- Neurodevelopmental Techniques: Leveraging neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections—to enhance learning and behavior change.
- Targeted Areas of Skill Development: Including eye contact, play skills, receptive and expressive language, social skills, academic readiness, fine and gross motor skills, self-help skills, community integration, and flexibility.
Behavioral Interventions:
- Behavior Reduction & Skill Acquisition: A balanced approach that not only decreases inappropriate behaviors but also builds functionally equivalent replacement behaviors.
- Reinforcement & Errorless Learning: We employ strategies like praise and reinforcement, as well as errorless learning, to support skill acquisition.
- Shaping: Gradual modification of behaviors to reach desired goals.
Natural Environment Training:
- Interventions are delivered in the most natural, everyday settings for the client (home, school, community), enhancing the relevance and generalization of skills.
Goals and Outcomes:
- Adaptive Skills Development: Focusing on socialization, communication, personal hygiene, self-help, community participation, and academics.
- Behavioral Goals: Addressing and eradicating behavioral concerns, increasing functional independence, and fostering emotional and cognitive growth.
Continuous Support & Program Enhancement:
- Regular Evaluation & Adjustments: Programs are continuously evaluated, and enhancements are made between visits to ensure ongoing progress.
- Parent Education: Parents will receive ongoing education and support to reinforce skills at home and ensure lasting effectiveness.

Core Principles:

Neuroplasticity: Harnessing the brain's ability to form new connections to support learning.
Cultural Sensitivity: Customizing interventions to align with family beliefs, values, and goals.
Empirical Strategies: Utilizing research-backed techniques to maximize effectiveness.
Long-Term Positive Outcomes: Achieving sustainable improvements in behavior, skill acquisition, and overall family well-being.

This model fosters a collaborative partnership between the child, their family, and the consultant, ensuring a comprehensive, supportive environment for long-term success.

...the most effective progress is obtained because of the love of a family...
