Is a Severe Behavior Program Right for My Loved One?

BlueSprig offers severe behavior programs for individuals with autism at select centers across the country.

At the BlueSprig Behavior Centers, our expert team of clinicians work with your family to create a tailored treatment plan designed to help your loved one thrive.

We provide compassionate ABA therapy techniques targeted to decrease dangerous severe behavior.

BlueSprig’s severe behavior programs provide:

  • Expert staff of behavior analysts and technicians trained to address severe behaviors
  • Specialized environment to ensure safe and effective service delivery
  • Short-term (typically 4-8 months) intensive program with services focused on decreasing severe behavior
  • Increased staff-to-client ratio of severe behavior experts
  • Treatment designed with the goal of transitioning to less-specialized or less-intensive settings

Comprehensive Approach to Severe Behavior

Our experienced clinical teams in the severe behavior program use evidence-based ABA therapy techniques and strategies to help individuals thrive.

We specialize in addressing behaviors that prohibit individuals from going to school, work, or therapy, and pose risks to themselves, others, or their environment. Some of these behaviors include:

  • Aggression
  • Self injury
  • Pica
  • Elopement
  • Property destruction

Four Phases of Severe Behavior Resolution

  1. Assessment: We meticulously assess the details of each client’s severe behavior, their strengths, and their needed supports to devise personalized treatment plans.
  2. Intervention: Beginning family-integrated treatment, we focus on cultivating safer, more adaptive alternative behaviors and establishing healthy, functional interventions.
  3. Support: We provide ongoing support to caregivers and clients as they implement interventions across various settings, including home, school, and community.
  4. Maintenance: Our commitment extends beyond initial intervention, aiming to maintain safe adaptive behaviors and equip caregivers with tools for sustained behavior change.

Tailored Severe Behavior Treatment Plans

The BlueSprig Behavior Centers offer intensive services tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

Our clinicians aim to identify effective treatment protocols that can be seamlessly integrated by caregivers, teachers, and loved ones in each individual’s life after their admission. The help of our clients’  support system is a valuable contribution to our goal of transitioning clients back into less intensive services while ensuring sustained progress.

Empowering Goals

At the BlueSprig Behavior Centers, we work collaboratively with families, leveraging our expertise and resources to create a path towards lasting positive change.

Our goal is to empower individuals with autism to interact confidently and securely and foster behaviors that enhance their quality of life.
