At Active Steps
What makes us unique?
-
"Hands off" refers to our approach of promoting a safe and dignified environment for our clients by refraining from physically prompting them during therapy sessions. Instead, we prioritize alternative strategies such as verbal cues, visual supports, and positive reinforcement to encourage skill development and independence.
-
Positive Behavior Support is a holistic and person-centered approach that not only addresses challenging behaviors but also enhances the overall quality of life for individuals by promoting positive, respectful, and collaborative practices.
-
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a management philosophy and systematic process aimed at improving processes, products, or services within an organization. It involves ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and customer satisfaction through iterative cycles of planning, implementing, assessing, and refining strategies and practices.
What to expect when receiving services from Active Steps?
At Active Steps, we begin our tailored services with a comprehensive assessment to understand each client's unique needs. Our behavior analysts conduct detailed evaluations, including interviews and direct observations in various settings, to gather essential information about behavioral patterns and their functions. This thorough process results in a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and a customized Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP), reviewed and approved by caregivers before submission for insurance approval. Our meticulous approach ensures that every strategy aligns perfectly with the individual's goals and family expectations, setting the stage for effective intervention.
