About Focus
FOCUS Behavioral Associates exists to serve and support the behavioral needs of children and adults with autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and other behavioral disorders.
Who we serve
FOCUS uses Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) strategies which are beneficial for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Down’s Syndrome, Intellectual Disabilities, and other developmental disabilities.
You will find value in the services at FOCUS if you have a need for any of the following: behavioral management, self-management, communication skills, social skills, life skills, and job skills training.
We also have several programs benefiting family members and professional caregivers of our clients.
The Focus Family
From the first time a client walks through the doors, he/she is assigned to a FOCUS Family Team. The Team will consist of BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), RBTs (Registered Behavior Technician), and a certified Special Education Curriculum Director. We believe this FOCUS Family Team approach provides the most supportive environment for our client’s greatest success.
We know feedback from you, the caregiver, is important. In addition to weekly parent training and updates on your child’s progress, we commit to giving you written quarterly progress reports outlining the current status on each goal the client is working on. We believe our commitment to our client’s success is unparalleled.
We provide custom support
Our therapists provide center-based, home-based, and community-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques to treat and enhance the lives of children and adults with socially significant behaviors.
Our work does not end with the client. We also work directly with the family, caregivers, teachers, and other professional staff that surround and support the client on a daily basis.
The FOCUS family is committed to helping individuals with disabilities, shape and develop a better quality of life by using evidence-based treatment approaches in partnership with their caregivers.
We do not require any of our clients to sign a contract for services.
CENTER-BASED
Provides direct ABA therapy in our FOCUS center. In this setting, each client has the benefit of intense direct therapy in social settings to help with the mastery of skills and continue the use of these skills into everyday life. Our services range from early life skills to classroom development and our caregiver support programs.
HOME-BASED
Provides direct ABA therapy in the client’s home, day care, or community setting. The same center-based specialized programs can be applied to your child’s therapy. With a targeted environment in the home, FOCUS can help your child develop skills by using items or circumstances that would occur on a regular basis.
SCHOOL-BASED
FOCUS offers school districts staff training, consultation services, and immediate behavior support services through our Educational Support Service. Our BCBAs and RBTs collaborate with school staff to help students find success in the classroom. Utilizing ABA methods, FOCUS identifies the function(s) and the root cause(s)
COMMUNITY-BASED
FOCUS offers therapy in the community. Whether that be at a job site, community park, church, or social events, we tailor to the client’s needs in the naturalistic environments they are involved in his/her daily life. The overall goal is to build knowledge and independence of appropriate behaviors and skills to gain and maintain social interactions.
