Spectrum’s trained Behavior Specialists work with individuals and families to identify the underlying causes of maladaptive behaviors and develop personalized programs to replace these behaviors with healthier, more effective alternatives. Our team is committed to providing individualized support in addressing the diverse challenges faced by those with social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties.
Spectrum offers comprehensive Behavior Intervention services tailored to the specific needs of each client, delivered in the home and community settings as appropriate. Our specialists collaborate closely with both the client and family to promote positive behavioral change by:
- Identifying triggers and underlying causes of the undesired behavior
- Teaching strategies for managing and responding to undesired behaviors when they occur
- Designing proactive interventions to prevent the occurrence of undesirable behaviors
- Supporting the development of new, desirable behaviors through skill-building and practice
- Reinforcing and teaching others to reinforce the new behaviors, ensuring long-term success
In addition to our Behavior Intervention services, Spectrum provides specialized Executive Functioning (EF) Coaching, a primary service designed to help individuals improve key cognitive skills related to planning, organization, and goal-setting. Our EF coaching focuses on enhancing skills such as:
