Nature of Services

Behavior consultation and parent education services are educational and consultative in nature. Services focus on helping caregivers understand behavior, identify contributing factors, and implement evidence-based strategies within their daily routines.

These services are designed to target specific behaviors one at a time and do not replace comprehensive treatment programs.

The services provided through this practice are parent education and parent  implemented Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy overseen by a BCBA. These services are not intended to be a comprehensive plan as defined by insurance providers, Medicaid, or state-funded programs.

• No direct 1:1 treatment is provided to the child by an RBT / RLT or by the BCBA 
• No formal treatment hours are prescribed
• No insurance billing is submitted
• Services are private pay only

Participation does not establish a traditional therapist-client treatment relationship.

No Diagnosis or Medical Advice

Behavior consultation services:

• Do not include medical, psychological, or psychiatric diagnosis
• Do not replace care provided by a physician, psychologist, or other licensed healthcare provider
• Do not involve medication recommendations or medical decision-making

Families are encouraged to maintain care with their child’s primary care provider and relevant specialists.

Coordination of care with other professionals is a provided service. 

Parent-Implemented Strategies

All behavior strategies discussed are intended to be implemented by caregivers, not by the consultant directly.

Results depend on:

• Consistency of implementation
• Individual child factors
• Environmental variables

Behavior change is not guaranteed, and timelines vary by family and situation.

Observation & Video Review

When video recordings are used:

• Videos are provided voluntarily by caregivers
• Videos are used solely for consultation and educational purposes
• Videos are not shared or reused
• No recordings are retained beyond  the consultation period unless explicitly agreed upon

• When applicable, services comply with licensure requirements of the consultant’s home state
