At Foundations, we pride ourselves on creating individualized behavior treatment plans using the science of Applied Behavior Analysis while focusing on diligent use of reinforcement, prompting, and extinction as well as useful data collection and analysis in the implementation of the following instructional methodologies: Discrete Trial Teaching, Pivotal Response Teaching, Verbal Behavior Teaching, Incidental Teaching, and Natural Environmental Teaching. These methods can be implemented in the home, community, clinic, or school based environments. We provide parent training using principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to decrease target/undesired behaviors, by replacing and teaching the individual appropriate replacement behavior skills. We empower parents, teach them using evidence based strategies, and give them the skill sets needed to help them appropriately respond to unwanted behaviors. We provide useful feedback and regular supervision to behavior focused group homes including monitoring of plan implementation by staff, training in basic behavior change procedures, data analysis and analysis of patterns surrounding critical and re-portable behavior incidents. Foundation is pleased to offer certification courses to become a certified practitioner in Professional Crisis Management Association (PCMA). PCM is an advanced system of crisis management. Unlike other methods that teach intervention techniques only after individuals have become non-compliant, agitated or aggressive, PCM focuses primarily on prevention before a crisis occurs. PCM includes Crisis Prevention, Crisis De-escalation, Crisis Intervention, and Post-Crisis Intervention components. PCM utilizes "hands on" competency-based training and written tests to certify that individuals who receive instruction in PCM reach the highest level of skill acquisition. PCM is the only complete crisis management system available that can guarantee successful prevention and intervention with maximum safety, increased dignity and total effectiveness. We accept Medicaid, MedWaiver, CMS and a variety of Private Insurances. We also work with families who choose to use private pay.
