Behavioral Analysis Clinic

We provide in-depth assessments of the causes of behavior problems and develop family-oriented, person-centered interventions. Clinicians follow-up in the home, training care providers to carry out the recommended interventions.

Our results suggest that the majority of behavior problems are reduced by 90% or greater within one month.

About Behavioral Analysis

Many children and adolescents with developmental disabilities also have behavior problems that interfere with development or functioning. It is estimated that 17% of U.S. children and adolescents with developmental disabilities have behavior problems. Factors that contribute to the development of behavior disorders vary greatly but typically include environmental and biological causes.

Indications of Problem Behavior

Problem behavior includes self-injury, aggression toward others, and property destruction. Untreated or inadequately treated, it increases the probability of more restrictive living and school placements, and increases family or caregiver stress.

How the Behavioral Analysis Clinic Works

Care providers and their child first visit the clinic for an initial functional behavioral assessment.
During their second visit, care providers work with clinic staff to develop and refine a behavior intervention plan that is individually tailored to the needs of their son or daughter and family.
Clinicians then work with care providers in their home for the next month, teaching care providers the skills they need to reduce their son or daughter's behavior problems.
