School Behavioral Consultation

The School Behavioral Consultation program serves Anderson, Alexandria, Lapel, and Pendleton area schools.

Eligibility for consultation services is usually based on the recommendation of the student’s treatment team. In certain cases, families or individuals may pay privately for these services.

Services are available for students exhibiting target/problem behaviors in the school setting that impede his/her academic development or the academic development of others. Target behaviors include, but are not limited to: refusals, elopement, “tantrums”, physical aggression, verbal aggression, property destruction, classroom disruption, etc.

Each student is offered an individualized Functional Behavioral Assessment and Behavioral Recommendations (or Behavior Intervention Plan). Techniques recommended are based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavior Support (PBS) methodology and techniques, as well as other evidence-based interventions. School personnel may also request specialized training on various ABA/PBS topics/procedures.
