ABOUT US
At Community Behavior Consulting, we have worked with children from two years through adulthood. We have worked with people with a wide variety of diagnoses: emotional and behavioral disorders, genetic disorders, autism, Down's Syndrome, cerebral palsy, chromosomal disorders, learning disabilities, blindness, hearing disorder, and more. We have experience working in schools as aides, teachers, and consultants. And we routinely lead professional development opportunities across the state of Ohio.
​
We are well versed in assessment of behavior. We routinely conduct Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA), skills assessments, develop treatment plans, and engage in parent training.
OUR VALUES
Values guide our organization to remind us to always remember what is important. These are the values that are important to us.
Community: Every person deserves to have a meaningful connection to their community. We work to tear down the barriers preventing true inclusion.
Justice: We believe that every person deserves effective treatment centered on respect and dignity. We work to promote this by passionately advocating for each of our clients to obtain the services and opportunities they deserve.
Compassion: Regardless of a person's action, they should be treated with kindness and care. Those that engage in challenging behavior, and their families, need the greatest amount of compassion and patience.
Joy: By focusing on creating joy, we believe behavior intervention can reveal a person's abilities. Our goal is not to suppress behavior, but to support our client's journey to happiness.
Our
Staff
Directors
Our directors work tirelessly to continually evolve our practice to improve the lives of our clients, the families we work with, and our amazing staff. Our directors are heavily involved in state and national advocacy efforts and professional development to bring the best practices in the field of behavior health to the children and schools we serve. Additionally, our directors pay special focus to the development of the field by focusing on staff training and development.
Behavior Analysts
Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) engage in assessment, treatment planning, and training to increase our clients skills and decrease any interfering behavior. With a focus on trauma-informed care, our BCBAs pay attention to the whole child, developing programming and activities that mirror what the child were to be doing if they were not receiving therapy. BCBAs collaborate with other professionals and train various caregivers.
Mental Health Counselors
Our mental health counselors provide essential services to ensure that all of our interventions are trauma-informed, televisable, and socially valid. Our mental health team communicates our behavior intervention plans to parents, school team, and other stakeholders to ensure that everyone is on the same page for the child. Working with parents and siblings, our mental health counselors provide needed support for the whole family.
Behavior Intervention Coordinators
The Behavioral Intervention Coordinator (BIC) collaborates closely with schools, families, and interdisciplinary teams to implement individualized behavior support and skill development plans with fidelity. Behavior Intervention Coordinators bring a unique blend of expertise—spending time directly modeling behavioral strategies and implementing case management, while possessing greater applied behavior analytic training and experience than general case management. BICs hold dual certification as both Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Qualified Behavioral Health Specialists (QBHS). They are supervised by both BCBAs and licensed mental health providers. When designated and clinically appropriate, they may support and implement goals outlined in a client’s mental health treatment plan, as developed by the licensed mental health provider.
Registered Behavior Technicians
Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are the backbone of ABA programming, implementing the appropriate interventions for each child. They are dependently certified to provide ABA. RBTs undergo training and must pass a performance and written competency. RBT must maintain appropriate supervision and complete a competency assessment yearly. In addition, RBTs at Community Behavior Consulting participate in up to 40 hours of additional training each year, including certification in crisis intervention.
Behavior Technicians
Behavior technicians (BTs) implement ABA programming under the close supervision of our certified staff. Behavior technicians have experience and training working with children and adults with developmental disabilities and behavior disorders. Behavior technicians at Community Behavior Consulting undergo training to become an RBT within their first four months of employment.
