Analytical Behavior Consultants

Our Philosophy and Mission 

At Analytical Behavioral Consultants (ABC), we are passionate about serving children, families and professionals in the implementation of research-proven support systems for children who struggle with learning, language and behavior. Our mission is to provide the highest quality behavior analytic services based on the most current research in both Verbal Behavior (VB) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), to learners with developmental disabilities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We succeed by accelerating learning and developing a child’s ability to learn independently and in new ways. We develop positive teaching environments that allow the learner to develop communication and other skills under typically occurring contingencies, in both the community and family settings. zinstruction is individualized and goals are formulated by determining a child’s existing skill sets using both criterion- and norm-referenced assessment tools (i.e., VB-MAPP, PIRK,A-BILLS, and Vineland). We maximize our success by utilizing cutting-edge, evidence-based tactics pertaining to direct instruction, the monitoring of progress and training of family members and educators.

Intensive Home-based Programs
After the initial assessment, ABC offers intensive home-based behavioral programs for children under age three through Early Intervention and school-aged children from ages 3-17. Our programs consists of four parts: Skill Building (i.e., programs to target the skills needed to address a deficit); Behavior Management (i.e., interventions to reduce problematic behaviors); Parent and Family Training (i.e., education, support and training for parents, siblings and extended family); and Constant Program Monitoring (i.e., monitoring tactics and child progress to determine program/tactics effectiveness). Intensive Early Childhood Education or Early Intervention home-based programs vary between 15-40 hours per week of Direct Instruction and 10-20 hours of Supervision per month. Programs include the development of instructional materials and motivational systems, data collection, parent training, team meetings, delivery of behaviorally-based instruction targeting all problematic behaviors and areas of deficit, and the ongoing monitoring and reporting of both child and parent progress. Home-based programs for school-aged children typically include 10-15 hours per week of direct instruction and 8-12 hours of Supervision per month. As with Early Childhood Education, the program is individualized and designed to target all problematic behaviors and areas of deficit.

Toilet Training
We provide consultation for all children learning to use the toilet. For children receiving intensive ABA programming, toilet training is just one of the many self-help skills we teach. This is a specialized, multi-step process that begins with careful observation and the development of a specific success plan. To begin the process, a consultant will interview the child’s parents to gather information. Then the consultant will meet with the parents to present a detailed toilet training program. Usually the consultant will stay with you and monitor the child’s progress for several hours on the first day of training. Parents may be asked to gather data on the training activities for as many as 10 days. This data allows us to adjust our strategies to maximize effectiveness, and minimize the time required to complete the entire toilet training process.
