Services

The primary goal of ABA service providers in Durango School District 9-R is to deliver services in order to determine needs and teach necessary skills for maximum student success in the areas of life skills, social skills, behavior, and academics. 

These goals are accomplished via the following services:

Direct Student Services

Direct 1:1 Sessions - One-on-one sessions to target specific impacting behaviors and teach replacement behaviors or skills on a regular basis. 

Group Lessons - In-school lessons with small groups of students to teach necessary life skills and social skills on a regular basis.

Crisis Intervention - Immediate response to student behavioral crisis to de-escalate and reintegrate students into the school day.

Indirect Student Services

Consultation - Consultation with district staff, parents, and community-based individuals and organizations on individual student needs. 

Observation/Assessment - Formal in school observation and assessment of students' behaviors in order to make behavioral intervention suggestions.

Plan Development - Development, review, refinement and implementation of students' Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) with a focus on decreasing impacting behaviors and increasing replacement behaviors or skills. 

Staff Training - Ongoing coaching and training of district staff related to the implementation of interventions related to a students' individual BIP. 

Data Measurement and Analyis - Frequent data measurement and analysis to determine if implemented interventions are effective. This analysis is used to determine the continuation or adjustment of a students' BIP as needed.
