For many children, it is an inability to focus or a habitual set of behaviors in the classroom that interferes with their learning. Behavioral therapy can be a valuable tool in reshaping these behaviors. Play therapy, counseling sessions, and informal occupational and redirectional therapy can help your student redefine their role in the classroom and get back on track. Helping teachers to identify the problem behavior and its sources and coming up with a behavioral therapy plan to implement in the classroom can help to resolve some of these issues. In addition, problem behaviors at home can be addressed in a similar way, with strategies to maintain consistancy in home, at school, and in the community. Initial observation in multiple settings, data gathering, and conferencing with appropriate individuals will be the first steps in the behavioral therapy process. Classroom sessions and consultations are available.
