Behavior Support Services are a combination of learning based and systemic interventions and strategies to assist with the management of challenging behaviors that interfere with activities of daily living, social interactions, work, or similar situations resulting with an individual learning new skills and reducing or replacing problem behaviors. Services are authorized for individuals whose challenging behaviors are dangerous or disruptive and present a risk to the health and safety of the individual, peers, and others with a level of interruption to daily activities and community integration. A Positive Behavior Support Plan is used to address challenging behaviors that occur with interventions tied to specific goal(s) and objective(s). The purpose of a behavior support plan is to improve behavior over time.

STW’s goal is to partner, build rapport, assess, teach, and model the interventions, which empower families, providers, and their staff to become proficient in behavioral strategies, thereby assisting in the management and improvement of an individual’s behavior.
