About Behavior Whisperer
Our Mission
Behavior Management is defined as the support of individuals, across their lifespan, that are experiencing behavioral, social, or emotional challenges while accessing and actively participating in community life, in all environments. Behavior Management is intended to help individuals achieve independence, self-determination, integration, and inclusion while focusing on social skills, communication, daily living skills, and job competence. This service is designed to empower individuals as well as their families by utilizing their strengths and abilities to reach their personal goals. Behavior Management Services can be training, supervision, and assistance in appropriate expression of emotions, needs and desires, assertiveness, acquisition of socially appropriate behaviors, and the reduction of inappropriate behaviors.
Our Services
Behavior Consultants can support individuals to improve the use of coping skills during periods of anxiety or transition; or they may support someone to develop desired social skills. Behavior Consultants may support individuals to develop effective advocacy skills, to learn necessary tasks such as obtaining and maintaining employment, following a toilet training program, chore charts, completion of self-care and hygiene tasks, moving from a desired activity to undesired activity, and so many more. Behavior Consultants may also provide support for an individual to express their emotions, desires, needs, or wants effectively and healthily.
Our Approach
A Behavior Consultant (BC) is an integral part of your waiver team and will provide direct and indirect service to an individual, their family, and their staff. As a part of the individual support team, Behavior Whisperer BCs provide in home and in-community services to waiver consumers. Your BC will complete a Functional Behavior Assessment to determine target behaviors and then develop a Positive Behavior Support Plan (BSP) for all team members to follow to assist with those selected target behaviors.
