At Behavior Blossoms We Offer
Social Skills
With the use of social skills curriculum and skills training groups, we work to increase confidence, empathy, attention, greetings and other friendship skills to access vital social engagement that will last a lifetime.
Verbal Behavior
We prioritize Functional Communication Training (FCT) to increase the communication of needs, wants and self-advocacy by using the motivation and medium that works for your child. Your child’s voice will be found by exploring options including vocal speech, sign language, augmentative devices, and picture exchange communication system (PECS).
Behavior Intervention Plan
With functional behavior assessment, we identify why your child is engaging in certain behaviors, and design better ways for them to get their needs met. Our interventions are always least restrictive and focus on your child acquiring the skills they need to meet their developmental milestones.
Consultation
We provide independent evaluations, parent training, organizational training, and are effective Individual Education Plan (IEP) advocates to help you collaborate with school services. Our clients receive parent training as part of their treatment package so that we can start working as a team to move towards what you value for your child’s future.
Medically Based
We collaborate with doctors, speech therapists and occupational therapists to screen for medical causes and assist clients with behavioral feeding concerns, as well as teach routines to assist in medical environments, so your child can stay healthy!
Life Skills
We work on skills that promote independence in daily life and the future by targeting self-care skills such as potty training, dressing, age appropriate chores, safety and community integration.
Academics
At our school, Blossoms Academy, our teacher uses behavioral interventions to fill gaps in learning with structured teaching methods. Blossoms Academy ensures the skills are tested across multiple ways of presentation and in natural contexts, so that their learning is more meaningful. With the use of grade level assessments on IXL, we can identify what your child needs to learn to be successful at school. We utilize direct instruction curriculums such as Funnix, Reading Mastery, and Corrective Reading.
Assessment
Our intake is an interview and observation to determine your child's and your family's needs, understanding that everyone’s values and circumstances are different. Along with parental requests about important areas, we use the Vineland, VBMAPP, ABLLS, AFLLS, PEAK, and "reinforcer surveys" to determine skill deficits and demonstrate medical necessity for services.
Skills Training
We use the multitude of teaching techniques in our ABA toolbox to help your child acquire the skills they need for life, including: Discrete Trail Training (DTT), Pivotal Response (PRT) and Naturalistic Teaching (NET). We do everything possible to identify your child’s preferred reinforcers and make difficult things easier and more playful so that your child starts to enjoy their therapy experience.
