Our Services
Behavioral intervention services are available to children with developmental disabilities. These services can help children improve their overall development, social-emotional development, relationships with others, and the development of their play skills. These services can also help improve a child’s behavior and self-help development.
Behavioral Intervention Services (BI)
Buitron Behavioral Health (BBH) offers Behavioral Intervention Services for children and youths aged 3-21 with behavioral disturbances, mental health issues, and developmental disabilities. These services aim to facilitate therapeutic approaches for individuals with behavior problems. BBH collaborates with families and caregivers to develop effective behavioral interventions, emphasizing personal responsibility and motivation. The goal is to facilitate natural outcomes for choices and actively teach and reinforce alternative pro-social behaviors, enabling individuals to live in the least restrictive environment possible and maintain normalized roles.
​
Behavior Intervention planning is based on assessments and focuses on addressing the function and efficiency of problematic behavior in the least restrictive manner. It promotes the development of alternative adaptive skills. Behavioral Intervention, a type of behavior modification therapy, uses reinforcement to address behaviors that could negatively affect a child’s life. These services are provided by trained behavior intervention staff.
One of the biggest challenges parents face is managing difficult or defiant behavior in children. Whether children are refusing to put on their shoes or throwing tantrums, parents can often find themselves at a loss for effective ways to respond.​
