The Difference
By identifying the underlying cause of behavior, we can create long-lasting and sustainable change. Through assessment, observation, and intervention, our goal is to assist you or your loved one to live a meaningful and purposeful life.
First Order Change vs. Second Order Change
Using scientific findings based on the latest research, we can create long-lasting change. When we focus only on the behavior, we engage in a circular, surface-level approach to change which often only leads to momentary relief. Behaviors associated with disabilities are often “innocent” behaviors and require educational and therapeutic interventions. When we misinterpret these behaviors by reacting or otherwise taking them personally, there’s a risk that innocent behaviors will become socially motivated and new challenging social behaviors will be elicited in response to being “made” to stop the innocent behavior.
Empowerment through Education
Our therapists will provide you or your loved one with choice, individualized services, and compassion. We work closely with others on your team to provide to support you and walk along side you every step of the way.
“We concede that every child is born with potentialities different from those of any other child. Our objection to the teaching of the hereditarians and every other tendency to overstress the significance of the constitutional disposition is that the important thing is not what one is born with, but what use one makes of that equipment.”
-Alfred Adler
