What does a behavioral consultation include?
The nature and length of the consultation services are based on the individual needs of the client as determined by the clinician and the family/caregivers or supporting facility. Generally a consult would include:
- Initial meeting with a behavioral consultant to determine the needs of the client
- Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) including observation sessions and caregiver/staff interviews
- Development of a comprehensive behavior intervention plan
- Training family/caregivers or staff on intervention techniques
- Follow up as necessary
CDM believes in a consultation model that guides parents/caregivers or staff to help facilitate positive behavior change through direct support and training based on the behavior intervention plan written. The behavioral consultant will be available to follow up as necessary.
