Madison Behavior Therapy

success. Our compassionate and caring therapy team creates programs based upon each individual's interests, goals, and objectives. We manipulate reinforcers to create a fun and effective learning environment, which naturally encourages a client to learn and work independently. All therapy sessions are conducted on a 1:1 therapist to student ratio. Empirically based programs are used to increase socially appropriate behaviors and decrease maladaptive problem behaviors. Teams work in a cohesive and professional manner to increase the client's and his/her family’s overall quality of living. Problem (or “bad”) behaviors occur because they are serving a function, or “purpose”, for the individual. By assessing and understanding the purpose of the unwanted behavior, we can develop a treatment plan that decreases “problem” behaviors and increases positive alternative, replacement behaviors. We operate on a medical model, providing ABA therapy services in the home and community settings. We welcome collaboration with a child’s school team, as well as other medical professionals (OT, Speech therapist, psychologist) in order to provide consistency and ensure generalization across settings.
