The Approach:
​
The approach to working with special needs clients is one of reimbursement. For example, to reward positive behaviors, or an instance where a good choice was made, reinforcers will be provided. Reinforcers can take many forms, such as play with a preferred toy, certain food items, and physical praise. The aim is to teach the individual which behaviors result in the desired goal.
In concert with parents and teachers, Accentra Behavioral will create a set of strategies to be attempted. These strategies will be taught to all relevant individuals, and the results are recorded over a period of time. As behaviors change, strategies are modified or changed all together to maintain positive development.
