Applied Behavior Analysis

Applied Behavior Analysis helps students, families and educators develop behaviors that lead to successful learning. We provide comprehensive school-based services, day school programs and private therapy options. Our team of behavior analysts and professional staff focus on the needs of each student to remove barriers to learning and create lasting behavior change.

The Basics of Applied Behavior Analysis

Applied Behavior Analysis is a widely-recognized treatment for autism and other disorders that influence behavior and impact learning. Behavior analysts observe students and their learning environment to create individual plans that lead to measurable changes in learning. Staff gather data on behavior plans and therapy sessions  to allow behavior analysts to optimize learning and success. The ultimate goal of applied behavior analysis therapy is to ensure behavior changes improve classroom learning and can be applied in a broad range of life situations.

School-based Applied Behavior Analysis Services

Board Certified Behavior Analysts travel to schools across Southeast South Dakota to ensure students can benefit from applied behavior analysis strategies and therapy. Our team conducts functional behavior assessments and leads the development of behavior improvement plans. We also consult with individual educators on specific cases, classroom-level management strategies or school-wide behavior plans.

Professional Development and Training Programs

Teachwell behavior analysts improve access to applied behavior analysis through professional development and technician training programs. On-site professional development provides teachers with essential understandings and practical advice based on the principles of applied behavior analysis. Our registered behavior technician (RBT) training program builds a school's capacity to implement and monitor behavior improvement plans by supporting existing staff throughout the professional certification process.
