Treatments

- Intensive one-on-one therapy to teach new skills
- On-site parent/caregiver training and coaching
- Data collected from both the therapist and possibly the parent to better evaluate the targeted behavior
- Re-assessment to determine if unwanted behaviors have subsided, new skills/techniques have been adopted, understanding of what triggered the behavior, and the procedures that need to take place to prevent future undesirable behaviors.
