APPRECOTS provides the opportunity to engage in clinical group discussions, interactive trainings, and one-on-one behavioral analytic consultations. APPRECOTS strives to work alongside you and your team throughout your learning journey when applying positive behavior change techniques.

“Heidi and Sam provided an excellent training on positive behavioral supports for our clinical staff. They kept staff engaged throughout the training, weaving in active teach activities that helped staff apply the concepts and skills they were learning. It was awesome to see staff having “ah ha moments” and to hear staff sharing that they felt more confident in implementing positive behavior supports due to the training. This was the best training we provided to staff all year – staff were already using the tools they learned the very next day after the training.”
