In addition to school and intensive interventions designed for children with developmental disabilities, we also provide interventions directed at challenging behaviors. An intervention of this kind will address issues such as nervous habits (e.g. thumb sucking and nail-biting), eating disorders, toilet training, sleeping disturbances, addictions, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, antisocial behavior (e.g. lying, stealing, etc.), phobias, hyperactivity, temper tantrums, and sibling relationship, amongst others.

The treatment will begin with an evaluation process, which includes interviews and observations, as necessary, based on which a delineation of behavioral strategies to increase and/or decrease target behaviors will follow. In most cases, parents training will be an integral part of the intervention. Educators and other significant individuals for the child will also receive training if and when necessary.

Some important points that the team considers when a behavioral intervention plan is created are:

• Input from all significant individuals
• Operational definitions of behaviors , goals and consequences
• Delineation of evidence-based instructional strategies
• Adaptation to various environments (e.g. home, classroom, playground, etc.)
• Focus on positive support
• Necessary changes in academic program, physical setting, etc.
• Progress is recorded and the plan is evaluated
