Strengthen Behavioral Support Practices

All behaviors happen for a reason. Every single one of us acts to get our needs met, and our experiences help us learn how to do this.  Members of the APPRECOTS team have extensive real-world experience as credentialed, licensed professionals in behavior intervention settings.  By using a scientific approach to gather information, we can better understand why certain behavior occurs and how to provide experiences that support beneficial skills.

We provide interactive trainings, utilization management and quality assurance coaching, fidelity reviews, and fostering behavioral expertise within an organization. Our approach to supporting behavioral interventions encompasses our value of promoting strategies that honor autonomy and the uniqueness of individuals.

“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.”
