BCBA Services at Alpha School

Alpha School is happy to offer a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) as part of the school staff.

Here at Alpha School we maintain a group of staff who have been trained in Non-violent Crisis Intervention through the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), an international organization with an excellent reputation for educating staff in safe, respectful and noninvasive methods for managing disruptive and assaultive behaviors.

The core philosophy behind the CPI organization is to maintain the Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security of both students and staff members. The ultimate objective is to de-escalate difficult situations that arise as early as possible by understanding students’ anxieties, body language and behaviors.

Alpha School has a permanent crisis team who, along with the instructional and related services staff, provide an immediate response to any problem within the school at the earliest stages. The entire staff is trained several times a year, with a level of training depending upon their role.

The responsibilities of the behaviorist include, but are not limited to:

• Direct Staff Training
• Design and Implementation of Data Collection
• Data Analysis to Monitor and Determine the Effectiveness of Interventions
• Parent Assistance and Training
• Collaborative efforts with the classroom teacher to minimize behaviors in the academic and school settings

Some of the Alpha School Behavior Therapy Services Include:

• Application of behavioral based interventions and techniques including the reduction and/or elimination of maladaptive behaviors
• Functional Behavioral Assessments
• Collaboration with Instructional Staff and Related Service Professionals
• Behavior Intervention Plan Development
• Curriculum Development based on the needs of the Individual
