How We Can Help
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is best known as an effective treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and individuals with developmental disabilities. But its evidence-based principles are effective for anyone and everyone who wants to change their behavior.
Our Services
We meet every client where they are. Whether you have a child who struggles with toilet training or you are an adult who wants to start anew, B.E.T.H. can help.
ABA for Autism Spectrum
We work closely with you and your child to develop a treatment plan that focuses on reducing challenging behaviors and maximizing skill acquisition.
Strategic Transition Training
Our Strategic Transition Training (S.T.T.) program is designed for individuals ages 14 and higher. The skills taught and practiced in our unique program focus on independence and critical thinking.
Mental Health Counseling
Our counselors specialize in treatment for both you and your entire family. We work with you where you are and we understand that every situation is as unique as you are.
ABA for Your School
We work closely with public and private schools to perform student observations, conduct teacher trainings, and advise on student Individualized Education Plans (IEP).
What We Do
What Do ABA Services Look Like?
Every individual comes to us with a unique set of gifts, challenges, and circumstances. So, it makes sense that no two treatment plans are the same. That said, ABA is grounded in scientific principles and methodologies that are designed to provide the optimal conditions to observe, collect data, and assist in a systematic way.
Regardless of your diagnosis or the behavior you want to target, a B.E.T.H. Services treatment plan generally follows this process:
Learning About You
We start by getting to know you. Who are you; what makes you, you? What are your current skills? What is your baseline of productive behavior that we can build upon? Have you ever received services before, and did they work for you or your child? (no judgements, behavior change is hard) What is your current schedule and what dictates you or your family’s behavioral needs?
Formal Assessments
With the help of formal assessments, we set targeted goals and objectives to address behavior.
Personalized Treatment
We design a personalized treatment plan that details the necessary interventions to change behavior and acquire new skills.
Tracking Behavior
We establish a method for tracking that measures behavior and skill acquisition over time. This includes documenting a baseline of behavior that all future data can be measured against. We provide you with the tools necessary to continue this data collection process outside of session.
Ongoing Reevaluation
Throughout treatment, we continuously reevaluate the effectiveness of your treatment plan and the prescribed intervention by the B.E.T.H. Services team. We will update treatment options based on the results of current behaviors and changes in your environments.
Strategic Transition Training
S.T.T. equips young adults with the tools to master the self-help and advocacy skills required to navigate our ever-changing world.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A behavioral assessment is a formal tool used to analyze an individual’s current skills and behavioral repertoires. They are also used to identify the pivotal skills and behaviors that will help the individual build a repertoire of self-advocacy, independence, productivity, and interpersonal relationships within their community. Developing these skills and behaviors is fundamental to creating a path toward both happiness and behavior change. At B.E.T.H., we consider assessments to be an important guide on the path to success. That said, our experience tells us that no path is the same and our treatment plans are always customized to meet your needs.
The assessments we use are determined by the targeted behavior and desired outcomes of new and existing skills. Based on your intake, we determine which assessments best suit you and your current behavioral outcomes.
For individuals living with autism, we use two different behavior assessments to help determine the most appropriate skills to teach: the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS) and the Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS).
The ABLLS is a curriculum-based guide, which tracks an individual’s language and/or learning delays. This assessment helps us identify potential skills and deficits to create an individualized program for your child.
The AFLS is a guide that emerges out of protocols to assess functional, practical and essential skills for everyday life. This allows us to identify and target skills that are needed for independent daily living, home and community participation, and to prepare the learner for school or vocational training.
Before a client arrives, the therapist reviews data from past sessions and creates a detailed plan of goals and objectives based on the BCBA’s treatment plan for that current session. Once the client arrives, a session can last anywhere from 1 to 7 hours, depending on the client’s current status of behavior and prescribed behavioral script. The technician will spend time engaging and pairing with the client to establish a friendly and trusting relationship before transitioning into the therapeutic and learning activities. Parents are welcome to join the BCBA in observing the session through our one-way mirror; this is a useful way to gain insight into how and why a technician interacts with your child in the way that they do.

“I decided to give B.E.T.H. a try and that was the best decision I could have ever made for my son. He is now 12 years old and I do not know where we would be today had I not given B.E.T.H. a try.”
"You may not even know you need it yet, but B.E.T.H. will show you what the possibilities for hope are and you will be able to achieve those goals that you had long ago."
"We overcome so many tasks with our son, from becoming more independent learning how to tie his shoes, make his bed, shower himself to tolerating his younger sister just talking. All those little things the everyday average person takes for granted."
"They aren't afraid to tackle any issue any child has. They are flexible with their schedule. Staff is amazing, everyone is so caring and dedicated."
"This has been an amazing experience for our daughter and our family. She has really progressed in the time she has been with B.E.T.H."
"They were by my side every step of the way, helping me navigate the school system, creating a custom, data-driven plan that allowed my daughter to successfully transition from daily meltdowns, [...] building confidence through accomplishment."
"We have been through several services including the public and private school systems. None have provided the personal attention that we have received with BETH."
