Family‑Centered Behavior Consulting provides ABA‑based caregiver‑mediated treatment services focused on helping families understand behavior and support meaningful change at home and in the community. 

Services may include:

• Functional behavior assessment

• Behavior support plan development

• Caregiver training to implement ABA treatment

• Ongoing treatment and plan revision

• Professional speaking and workshops

All services are treatment-focused and family-centered.

Services are typically provided for children and adolescents, though the specific age range may vary depending on the nature of the concerns and whether services are clinically appropriate.

We provide medically necessary ABA treatment through a caregiver‑mediated model rather than intensive clinic‑based or technician‑delivered therapy.  Our treatment focuses on assessment, planning and training caregivers to implement evidence‑based strategies in daily routines.  We do not offer high‑hour or center‑based ABA programs.

No. Family-Centered Behavior Consulting does not provide medical, psychological, or educational diagnoses.

Behavior-analytic assessments focus on understanding the function of behavior and identifying environmental variables and skill needs—not diagnosing conditions.

All new clients begin with an Initial Consultation.

The initial consultation is a brief, information-gathering conversation designed to:

• Understand concerns and goals at a high level

• Determine whether services are clinically and ethically appropriate

• Clarify scope, fees, and next steps

This consultation is not solution-focused and does not include behavior intervention recommendations.

The initial consultation includes:

• Review of background information

• Discussion of concerns and priorities

• Determination of fit, scope, appropriateness, and fees of services

The consultation does not include:

• Specific behavior intervention recommendations

• Treatment planning

• Problem-solving around individual behaviors

Providing intervention guidance without adequate assessment would be inappropriate and unethical.

The initial consultation is 30 minutes and costs $60.

Fee Policy:

If, following the initial consultation, the clinician determines that services are not clinically or ethically appropriate, the consultation fee will be fully refunded.

If services are offered and the decision to move forward is mutual, the consultation fee is applied toward agreed-upon services.

Families are not obligated to move forward following the consultation.

We are currently private pay and are pursuing credentialing with select plans (including BCBSM). Coverage depends on benefits and prior authorization.

Services are provided in the family’s home, community settings or via telehealth, depending on clinical needs and geographic considerations.  Our caregiver‑mediated model allows for flexible delivery while maintaining treatment fidelity.

Telehealth options may be available for select services.

Family-Centered Behavior Consulting is an independent, private practice.

Services are separate from school systems and focus on behavior as it occurs in home and community settings, rather than educational programming or school-based intervention.

Yes, with appropriate consent. Collaboration may occur with:

• Pediatricians

• Therapists

• Other community providers

Collaboration is always guided by ethical standards and the family’s preferences.

Yes.  We offer educational presentations and workshops for parent groups, community organizations and professional audiences.  These engagements focus on caregiver‑mediated behavior support and ethical ABA practice and do not involve individual assessment or treatment.
