One of the cornerstones of Behavior Bridges’ philosophy is to collaborate with families and teams to partner together toward success with a focus on the best interests of the individual receiving care. We have found that this creates more sustainable positive change across settings and that the tools learned by the individual and their caregivers can then be maintained and generalized better. Through building trust and a relationship based on the principles of inclusion and the science of ABA, positive and preventative plans can be created to address challenging behaviors or to target skill building.
