ABA SERVICES
BEHAVIORAL CONSULTATION
Elevate Behavioral Solutions implements evidence-based interventions to help improve the quality of life of their clients. To create an effective intervention, an assessment is necessary to determine skill set and behaviors that are creating concern. Once the assessment process is complete, an individualized treatment plan is authored to achieve agreed upon goals. From assessment to intervention, an emphasis is placed on parent and family involvement and collaboration. Continual collaboration with parents, family, and other important members of a client’s team is essential to progress, and members of our team encourage collaboration along the way.
ACQUISITION SKILLS TRAINING
Learning happens best in a person’s natural environment, whether that is at home, at school, or within the community. That is why the professionals at Elevate Behavioral Solutions do their best to provide services in locations that will be most beneficial for their clients.
Though we can address a number of behaviors, below are ones we address most often:
Communication Skills
Whether it be vocally, through the use of sign language, via an augmentative communication device, or by picture exchange, communicating with others is an important aspect of life. By increasing communication skills, clients learn how to get the wants and needs met.
Daily Living Skills
These are day-to-day routines, such as personal hygiene, cleaning and organization skills, budgeting, and learning how to use public transportation. By acquiring daily living skills, clients can become more independent.
Social Skills
Many of the activities in which people engage involve interactions with others. Learning social skills, such as sharing, asking others for help or information, responding to feedback from others, taking turns, how to have a meaningful conversation, and many more, helps clients build meaningful relationships with others.
BEHAVIOR REDUCTION PROGRAMMING
When people engage in behaviors that present a risk to themselves and/or to others, the safety and quality of life of everyone involved become real concerns. Behaviors, such as aggression, property destruction, and self-injury can be dangerous and can prevent clients and families from going out, making friends, and accomplishing important tasks. By teaching proactive and reactive strategies to these behaviors as well as teaching functionally equivalent replacement behaviors, Elevate Behavioral Solutions can help clients and families improve quality of life and remain safe.
PARENT AND FAMILY GUIDANCE
Collaboration is a very important part of ABA services. Through collaboration with parents, family members, school personnel, and other professionals, a better understanding of behaviors, the variables surrounding them, and why they may be occurring can be gained. Parent and family guidance helps encourage collaboration so that learning is consistent and ongoing, even outside of ABA sessions.
