Behavioral Health Services
Behavior Health Services are psychiatric and behavioral supports for persons with challenging behaviors. Behavior Services are typically provided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts practicing Applied Behavior Analysis or under the guidance of these professionals. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a specialized branch of psychology which focuses on behaviors that impact a persons health, well-being, interpersonal relationships, or community inclusion. ABA is based on nearly 50 years of research into behavior and its causes, as well as techniques for changing behavior. These services include assessment, direct intervention, consultation with families or other caregivers, advocacy, and education. Services can include working directly with the individual, with the family or in a group setting. Types of strategies utilized include: function-based treatment, skill acquisition, behavior reduction/replacement, and social skills training.
Psychiatric services are provided by a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist evaluates the benefit of medication to treat various behavior and/or mental health concerns. If medication is indicated they prescribe such treatment and then monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. Individuals may benefit from behavior intervention services, psychiatric services or both depending on the possible cause of the presenting concerns. Nursing, case management and social work services can also be components of behavior health intervention.
