Consultation-Based Services

APTS' behavioral services works with organizations and/or families to provide effective training and consultative services based on the unique needs of individuals with disabilities within an Applied Behavior Analysis framework. APTS offers behavioral services in the form of crisis stabilization, Functional Behavioral Assessment, Behavior Intervention Plan development, direct modeling and training, data analysis and outcome measurement to family members/caregivers and staff. Our consultants work with these individuals to create person-centered programming that provides direct support throughout the implementation process. We also conduct interactive workshops to work closely with organizations in creating custom-designed workshops that focus on the use of behavior analysis tools for professionals within the context of their own supportive environments.

Our services are aimed at empowering the family and/or organization to become their own best resource in effecting long-lasting behavioral growth for those in their care.
