Applied Behavior Analysis 
 

We know that children use behavior as a tool to communicate their wants and needs. At Willowcrest, we use the framework of Applied Behavior Analysis to understand how and why behaviors occur. This allows us to determine effective strategies to help children increase communication, independence, and social skills. Overseen by a BCBA, we implement strategies that support our students' successful communication. Consistency amongst our staff and the ability to easily implement and change strategies helps to ensure that we are compassionately and effectively addressing any behaviors that arise.
