Description:

Family-Centered Behavior Consulting provides individualized, evidence-based behavior support for autistic children and their families through a caregiver-mediated model of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Services are led by a Michigan-licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA®) with extensive experience supporting children with autism across home, school, and community environments.

Rather than focusing solely on direct therapy with the child, this model emphasizes parent and caregiver coaching—helping adults understand the function of behavior, respond consistently, and embed effective strategies into everyday routines. This approach supports meaningful, sustainable behavior change while reducing caregiver stress and confusion caused by inconsistent or generic advice.

Services may include:

• Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)

• Individualized behavior support planning

• Parent coaching and training in evidence-based ABA strategies

• Guided implementation and follow-up consultation

• Support for home, community, and daily living challenges (e.g., transitions, compliance, emotional regulation, aggression, elopement)

Family-Centered Behavior Consulting is especially appropriate for families who:

• Are on waitlists for intensive ABA services

• Do not require or prefer clinic-based treatment

• Want practical, realistic strategies they can use immediately

• Value collaboration, transparency, and caregiver empowerment

• Are seeking autism support that fits real family life

Services are tailored to each family’s needs and may be delivered via telehealth or in person, depending on location and clinical appropriateness. The goal is to equip caregivers with the skills, understanding, and confidence needed to support their child’s behavior across settings—not just during sessions.

For families seeking professional autism behavior support that is practical, ethical, and family-centered, Family-Centered Behavior Consulting offers a supportive and collaborative alternative.
