Overcoming Behavior Challenges and Building Successful Skills
Our team uses evidence based assessment and treatment planning procedures to address problem behaviors by working in our Center directly with the child while simultaneously training parents and caregivers on how to help at home and in the community.

The behavioral and psychological experience and expertise of CCSN's clinical team allows us to address challenging behaviors for individuals with very complex clinical profiles.

This plan will not only address how to reduce challenging behavior, but will ensure that needed replacement skills are taught. As the plan is implemented we continue to support extensive training for families on how to execute it both at home and in the community.
To ensure consistency and stability of environment and procedures, we must train those in direct contact with the patient. All training involves:
