Positive Behavioral Dynamics, LLC

Clinical Mission and Goals

The clinical mission of Positive Behavioral Dynamics is to develop, implement, and oversee comprehensive In-Home ABA Programs to teach verbal behavior, learning, academic, social, self-care, emotional, vocational, and community-living skills for individuals with autism and other developmental disorders. We also provide functional assessment, analysis, and treatment for life's most serious and challenging behavioral problems. We use behavioral assessment and intervention techniques that are scientifically grounded in the principles of learning and behavioral change.

Our goal is to provide these behavior-analytic services in a supporting and caring way that upholds the dignity of our clients. We are committed to using the least restrictive, most effective databased behavioral assessment and treatment. We focus on positive behavioral change strategies that not only seek to eliminate serious and challenging behavioral problems, but also to promote developmental skills and alternative behavior that is socially adaptive and personally gratifying to our clients.  We accomplish these goals through a cooperative relationship with our clients and families.
