School District Services

Professional Development may be didactic or hands-on training provided to professionals in the field of ABA, or in a related field, to develop their knowledge and skill base in a general or particular area of ABA. HL offers professional development workshops on topics including but not limited to Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, ABCs of Behavior Management, Inclusive Classroom Management, IEP Goal Planning/Implementing, Person-Centered Transition Planning, and Language, Communication, and Behavior. Often, we are able to customize specific, unique instructional workshops based on the needs of the district. Each participant will leave a workshop with information that can immediately be incorporated into the classroom.

Using a functional behavior assessment (FBA) and other data-gathering techniques, BCBAs work collaboratively with teachers, other school staff, and parents to develop behavior intervention plans (BIPs) and effective systems of reinforcement to help the student achieve meaningful objectives. Training can be provided to those implementing the plan to assure the efficacy of recommended interventions.

Hybridge Learning is well-versed in providing school-based services. We provide multiple levels of support for public and private schools in delivering the most effective educational services from pre-K through high school for students displaying challenging behaviors. We can help with needs related to individual students, whole classrooms, and on a district level involving multiple schools through consultation, direct assistance, and professional development/training. All services are provided by highly trained BCBAs who utilize the principles of applied behavior analysis and have experience working with students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities, as well as staff.

The difference that HL brings is that many of our school district BCBAs were former teachers. They know the nuances of a classroom. Our school district BCBAs are efficient, effective, and knowledgeable. What you won’t get is a consultant who disregards a teacher’s natural talents and efforts. We work with the educators to enhance their strengths and develop areas of deficit. We work extremely hard to seamlessly integrate ABA practices and principles into an educator’s standing routine. But, if a routine needs to be modified, it is done on a collaborative basis. Pair these efforts with years of experience working in the classroom and you have a formula for success!
