Behavior Support Services
Positive Strategies. Lasting Change.
Empowering individuals through person-centered behavioral supports that prioritize dignity, safety, and a better quality of life.
Our Evidence-Based Approach
At East Penn Human Services, we believe that every behavior is a form of communication. Our Behavior Support Services are designed to understand the “why” behind challenging actions and provide individuals with more effective ways to express their needs and achieve their goals.
We strictly adhere to the ODP Best Practice Standards in Behavioral Support, ensuring that our interventions are proactive, data-driven, and always focused on the least restrictive environment.
Comprehensive Support Components
We provide both direct and indirect support to ensure a holistic environment of success:
-
Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA): Our specialists conduct thorough assessments to identify the root causes of behaviors, considering environmental, social, and medical factors.
-
Behavioral Support Plan (BSP) Development: We create highly individualized plans that focus on positive reinforcement, skill-building, and environmental modifications.
-
Crisis Intervention Planning: We provide clear, safe, and effective protocols for families and staff to follow during high-stress moments, ensuring the safety of everyone involved.
-
Specialized Training: We don’t just write a plan; we train the entire circle of support. This includes hands-on training for family members, caregivers, and staff on how to implement strategies consistently.
