Early Intervention (EI) is an intensive program for children with special needs 18 months through five years old with a diagnosis of autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), other developmental disabilities, and challenging behavioral difficulties. With the focus on social-emotional development, the team works with the multidisciplinary team to guide the family in establishing the clients’ missing repertoires and improving pre-learning skills:

• eye contact
• joint attention
• sitting tolerance
• attending skills
• completing simple tasks and
• communication and social skills

The approach focuses on developing each verbal operant (rather than on words and their meanings) and on the independent training of speaker and listener repertoires.

Skinner identifies seven verbal operants—echoic, mand, tact, intraverbal, textual, transcriptive, and copying a text—which functions as components of more advanced language forms. – M. Sundberg & J. Michael

Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is an indirect and direct observation of socially significant behaviors. A process of identifying possible pattern(s), function(s), and replacing this target behavior by teaching adaptive skills.

Behavioral Teaching Solutions (BTS) provides home based services for 18 months old, school age children, and adults with a diagnosis of autism, pervasive developmental disorders, other developmental disabilities, and challenging behavioral difficulties. Individualized treatment plans are designed after a comprehensive evaluation by a Qualified Behavior Analyst with international certification. The intensive home program is implemented utilizing the Competent Learner Model (CLM) Program with supervision and coaching by a certified CLM Coach.

We offer Adaptive Skills Training for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Using behavior analytic strategies, fluency-based training, and self-monitoring techniques, the team will support all individuals to improve their independence.

This service is individualized and offers the following:

• Completing the day-to-day routine task and school work
• Independent living and leisure skills
• Functional communication training
• Self-care and personal hygiene
• Community access and safety
• Social-relational skills

This program includes collaborative coaching for individuals, parents, other care providers to have a consistent implementation in applying all acquired skills in the home, school, and different settings.

We offer a complete set of social skills programs for children and young adults with emotional or behavioral disorders, anxiety, depression, and other developmental disabilities using behavior analytic strategies while incorporating the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This program focuses on accepting and understanding personal and other peoples’ emotions, appreciating peer-directed activities, and establishing and maintaining self-management skills to have an attainable outcome of psychological flexibility.

For all students to be successful, a multidisciplinary team should work collaboratively. We use component-composite analysis to strengthen the weakest repertoires that the students need to become better participators in their learning environments. We also support all school implementers for consistency and to enable them to become more effective implementers.

The team purveys a client-based approach in designing specific treatment plans by collaborating with the multidisciplinary team to allow continuous skills improvement and independence.

You are not alone!

We understand that dealing with challenges is not easy. Accepting and talking about it will help parents understand their children’s needs to reach their full potential. We use a holistic approach based on behavioral science and techniques based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACTS) to understand everyone’s capabilities and available resources. Our parent advocates who have similar experiences facilitate the session by providing their backgrounds and scenario-based discussion. Qualified clinicians usually supervise the session. Furthermore, we strive to empower parents by giving them the chance to volunteer or share their inspiring stories with other parents comfortably.  We honor confidentiality by providing a safe environment for all participants.

When you noticed red flags or other signs of developmental delays with your child,  immediately reach out and seek help. Early intervention is so far the best intervention. Although this situation can be overwhelming to some, Behavioral Teaching Solutions (BTS) ensure our assistance to you and your family.

After a comprehensive evaluation and direct observation, we will customize a training program that is practical and applicable in parallel to your child’s needs and family’s topmost priorities.
