Structuring the Classroom
We know what challenges teachers and staff face everyday and have the expertise and knowledge to help improve their performance so that they will see student progress.

We will work with staff to:

• Determine the function of student's behavior
• Develop and implement a behavior intervention plan
• Implement the Positive Behavioral Support Strategies
• Implement the Picture Exchange Communication System
• Collect and average data- make changes to the behavior plan based on data

During our visits
We will:

• Give practical, ready to implement ideas
• Leave written notes for the teacher

Structuring the Home
We work with parents to structure their home environment which, in turn, will help reduce behavior and increase skill level for their child. Our interventions are designed to meet the needs of the parents and their child within the home setting.

We will work with parents to:

• Give them the strategies so that they can teach their child
• Structure their home environment
• Help them implement functional communication systems with their child
• Develop behavior intervention plans

During our visits
We will leave:

• Detailed notes of recommendations
• Practical, ready to implement strategies
