Improving Outcomes Through Research-Based Behavioral Consulting

FTF Behavioral Consulting is closing the gap between research and practice through rigorous, research-based training and support. We serve a broad network of schools, clinics, and service organizations, addressing severe problem behavior for children and adolescents. FTF Behavioral Consulting aims to optimize processes and outcomes for those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability.

About Us Our Team

We Understand Behavior Before We Ever Try to Change It

The Three Pillars of FTF Behavioral Consulting

Treatment Rooted In Safety, Dignity, And The Child's Willing Participation

FTF Behavioral Consulting equips clinicians and educators with the skills to assess and treat problem behavior through PFA-SBT while children and young adults stay happy, relaxed, and engaged. Outcomes are deeply important to FTF Behavioral Consulting. Lasting outcomes are the result of well-trained practitioners who know how to be compassionate and effective at the same time.

Building Skills Rather Than Suppressing Behavior

Our proactive, research-based approach begins with what reinforces a behavior. We then train practitioners to teach skills that allow the person to access the same reinforcers in safer ways: communication, toleration, and cooperation. A child who can communicate, accept disappointments, and choose to engage with personally challenging tasks, accept denials, and cooperate with requests no longer needs to escalate to be heard.

Understanding Behavior Before Changing It

To change a behavior, you have to first understand the reasons behind it. Behavior is rarely random. It serves a function, occurring under specific conditions and not under others. FTF trains practitioners to begin by listening, both to the person and to those who know them best, as part of a Practical Functional Assessment. This understanding allows us to make a personalized plan to teach skills that accomplish the same results for the person, more safely.
