Severe Problem Behavior
Practical Functional Assessment & Skill-Based Treatment
We follow Greg Hanley’s Skill-based treatment model to teach your child or loved one the most important skills for ameliorating the need for severe problem behavior:
Communication: Asking to have things “my way” when a “worsening” is introduced.
Toleration: Demonstrating a simple “tolerance response” when someone says “no” or “not right now”.
Cooperation: Cooperating with the non-preferred activity, demand, etc. without the demonstration of problem behavior.
Our approach to intervention prioritizes safety, dignity, televisibility an compassion opposed to compliance and ignoring. Simply put, the road to a life free of problem behavior is paved with learning skills. When we teach your loved one skills they have opportunities that didn’t exist before to be successful and safe without severe problem behavior.
