Home Consultation
Families who have children with significant behavioral challenges often have the need for ongoing support and education. Everyday activities such as daily routines, community trips and family activities are impacted significantly when a child has behavioral challenges. The emotional stress caused by a child can quickly put a family in crisis. By providing ongoing consultation and education, families can begin to understand the functions of their child's behavior and learn to implement effective behavioral strategies. Home consultation often includes:
Assessment
- Interview to identify and prioritize areas of concern.
- Review of salient records as needed.
- Collaboration with outside professionals involved with the child.
Education
- Discussion with family explaining the possible causes of the problem behaviors
Planning
- Exploration of intervention options that will target the problem behavior and will take into account the feasibility of implementation for each individual home.
Intervention
- Positive behavior support plans to be implemented in the home with ongoing support
