Behavioral Intervention:

Behavioral Intervention services focus on utilizing evidenced based treatment methods to decrease maladaptive behaviors while developing adaptive skills in the areas of communication, social skills, and skills needed for activities of daily living. This service is offered in the home, in the community, and at our children’s center. We currently offer Behavioral Intervention on a one-to-one basis and do not provide this service in a group setting. Staff providing Behavioral Intervention have at least a bachelor’s degree in the human services field, one year experience working with kids who have developmental disabilities, and have completed Department approved competency coursework with special focus on Child Development, Applied Behavioral Analysis, and Learning Theory.

In addition, LIFE Incorporated is able to provide Family Education and Training Services and Interdisciplinary Training.
