Northwest ABA offers behavior support service for families and schools that have children and adolescents with challenging behaviors. Our practice adopts the philosophy of Positive Behavior Support and emphasizes function-based, non-restraint behavior management techniques. Our service is two-layered. Our behavior consultants are Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and provide consultation for teachers/parents and supervise Behavior Technicians. Consultants with BCBA certificate -not psychologists, doctors, or self-proclaimed behavior specialists- are the only nationally recognized experts in behavior support. We also offer direct one-to-one behavior support for your child/student by Behavior Technicians. All of our Behavior Technicians go through rigorous training on behavior management and applied behavior analysis.
