This is practical, evidence-based treatment for children and teens. We start with a clear assessment (ABC analysis and functional behavior mapping) to identify triggers, skills gaps, and what’s currently rewarding the behavior. Then we build a simple plan: adjust antecedents (predictable routines, visual supports, transitions), teach replacement skills (asking for help, calming, problem-solving), and reinforce the behaviors you want to see with consistent follow-through. Caregivers are coached every step—scripts, checklists, and brief practice between sessions—so gains show up outside the office. For anxiety-driven behaviors, we use graded exposure; for impulsivity or defiance, we emphasize routines, rewards, and calm limits; for mood or motivation, we add behavioral activation. We coordinate with school when helpful, track data weekly, and update the plan quickly if it’s not working. The aim is fewer blowups and refusals, smoother mornings and bedtimes, better follow-through, and a stronger parent-child partnership. Neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed; no shaming, no power struggles—just clear skills and consistent supports.
