What is Behavior Support Services?
Behavior Support Services help individuals develop positive skills, improve daily functioning, and reduce challenging behaviors that may interfere with living a safe, successful, and meaningful life. These services are designed to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by identifying the reasons behind challenging behaviors and teaching healthier, more effective ways to communicate wants, needs, and emotions.
At Xcepted Corporation, our Behavior Consultants work closely with the individual, family members, caregivers, and support teams to create individualized strategies that promote long-term success. We focus on understanding the whole person — not just the behavior.
Behavior Support Services may include:
- Completing Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA)
- Developing individualized Behavior Support Plans (BSP)
- Teaching coping, communication, and emotional regulation skills
- Reducing challenging behaviors in positive and respectful ways
- Training family members, caregivers, and staff on support strategies
- Supporting individuals in the home and community settings
- Encouraging independence, confidence, and quality of life
Our approach is compassionate, person-centered, and focused on helping individuals achieve their goals while building meaningful relationships and experiences within their communities. We believe every individual deserves support that recognizes their strengths, respects their dignity, and helps them live their best life possible.
