Behavior Services

The Behavior Services Department at Preferred Family Healthcare uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to create positive behavior change for individuals. his type of therapy is generally designed to assist an individual in developing new skills as well as decreasing certain dangerous or problematic behaviors and replace them with safer, more appropriate behaviors that can provide them a more independent and higher quality of life.

Who needs behavior services?

Typically a client will reach out to us or be referred to our services because a problematic behavior is prohibiting their ability to have a positive and fulfilling place in the community. Professional assistance is sometimes needed to reduce and replace problematic behaviors.

Behavior reduction and replacement may include behaviors, such as physical aggression, self-harm, verbal aggression (e.g., threats), elopement, and property destruction.

Clients may need more skill building to help them prepare for community integration, social and relationship skills, communication, self-care tasks, and employment readiness and may benefit from the structured and systematic approach of ABA therapy.
