Establishes a clear starting point for understanding a child’s needs and determining appropriate next steps for support.

​

Following intake and consent, this session focuses on gathering meaningful information through observation, targeted data collection, and collaboration with families to understand a child’s strengths, needs, and learning environment.

​

Findings from this session are used to guide planning and may inform the development of an individualized support plan.

​

This may include:

​

• Encouraging positive behavior change

• Strengthening communication and self-regulation skills

• Equipping families with practical, effective strategies

Provides a detailed understanding of an individual’s strengths, needs, and the factors influencing learning, behavior, and development to guide effective, individualized support.

​

Assessment serves as the foundation for meaningful intervention. Through structured observation, collaboration, and data collection, we identify patterns that impact communication, behavior, social interaction, emotional regulation, and daily functioning across environments.

​

While all services include ongoing assessment to inform instruction, some individuals benefit from a more comprehensive review to better understand complex needs or determine appropriate levels of support.

​

Comprehensive assessments are conducted across multiple sessions and may include input from caregivers, educators, and other professionals when appropriate. Information gathered helps guide thoughtful planning across home, school, community, and program settings.

 

Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)

A Functional Behavior Assessment identifies the purpose or function of behaviors that may interfere with learning, relationships, or daily functioning. Through structured observation, interviews, and data analysis, we examine patterns, triggers, environmental influences, and skill gaps that contribute to behavior.

​

Findings are used to develop practical, evidence-informed strategies that support positive behavior change, skill development, and improved participation across settings.

​

Families receive a clear summary of findings along with recommendations that can be implemented consistently at home, in educational environments, and within support services.

​

Comprehensive Developmental & Behavioral Assessment

​

A comprehensive assessment provides a holistic review of developmental and behavioral functioning, which may include:

​

• communication skills
• social-emotional development
• adaptive and daily living skills
• learning readiness and cognitive strengths
• self-regulation and coping skills
• behavior patterns across environments

​

The assessment process helps identify strengths, priority areas for support, and meaningful next steps for individualized planning.

​

The level and type of assessment is determined collaboratively based on individual needs, family input, and the scope of services being considered.

This service is designed to provide ongoing, individualized support to help children build, practice, and generalize skills across everyday settings.

​

Following assessment and planning, families may enroll in ongoing, individualized support services designed to help children practice and generalize skills in real-life settings.

​

Services are delivered on a weekly basis and guided by the child’s Individualized Service Plan (ISP). Support is tailored to the child’s developmental level, goals, and environment, with sessions taking place in the home, community, or other natural settings.

​

Intervention focuses on:

• Strengthening communication, social, and self-regulation skills

• Teaching functional replacement behaviors

• Supporting participation in daily routines, peer interactions, and community activities

 

Services may be provided by trained professionals, including special educators, SEL coaches, and behavior support staff, within a structured, evidence-based framework grounded in PBIS and ABA principles.

 

When appropriate, children receiving individualized services may participate in select group or social activities alongside their support provider to promote generalization and social engagement.

 

This service is available for children beginning at 2.5 years of age through adolescence, with supports evolving over time. Transition planning is incorporated as appropriate to promote independence and long-term success.

 

Service providers are trained and supervised to ensure consistency, quality, and alignment with each child’s plan of support.

Supports children in building independence, daily living skills, and positive routines within the home and community.  Services focus on real-life skill development, including communication, behavior, and social interaction, with an emphasis on consistency and carryover across settings.

​

Home & Community-Based Support, also known as Individual Support Services (ISS), is designed to help children develop practical life skills and positive behaviors within their everyday environments.  Services are provided in the home and community to ensure that skills are meaningful, functional, and transferable across settings.

​

This service focuses on strengthening independence, improving daily routines, and supporting children in applying social, communication, and behavioral skills in real-life situations.  Home & Community-Based Support services are skill-building and educational in nature.  These services are not clinical therapy but are designed to support the development of functional skills, independence, and positive behavior in everyday settings.

​

Support is individualized based on each child’s needs and may include structured activities, guided practice, and caregiver collaboration to ensure consistency across home and community settings.

​

Areas of Focus May Include:

• Daily living skills (e.g., hygiene, dressing, meal routines)

• Following routines and transitions

• Communication and functional language

• Behavior support and self-regulation

• Community participation (e.g., outings, public behavior expectations)
