Behavior Consultation

Spectrum offers behavior consultation services to families that include assessment, observation, intervention and program design.  Our BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) consults in home and school settings and collaborates with families, educators and care-givers to develop strategies for positive behavior supports and change.  $70/hr.
  

Parent Coaching

Spectrum staff are happy to provide 1:1 parent coaching and training in any area of need regarding your child's behavior, education or other area of need.  Rate = $60/hr. 
  

Advocacy Support

Spectrum staff are happy to provide advocacy support to families working in collaboration with their child's school.  Our approach is one of support, collaboration and a focus on the student's needs and how they can best be met for optimal educational outcomes. Advocacy support can include observation of the student at school, consultation with school staff, consultation with family, ARD attendance, recommendation report or other services as determined in initial consult.  Rate = $60/hr.
