Providing Exceptional ABA Therapy in Etowah County
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Using data-driven analysis, we teach new skills, reduce problem behavior and increase communication.
We are not limited to our clinical and school consultation services. Coosa Behavioral Services offers training opportunities for community members, businesses, educators, daycare providers, medical professionals and more. We are passionate about dissemination of Applied Behavior Analysis in a full community approach. Our dream is that our local community includes all abilities and are confident in their ability to serve. We will work with your business or staff in training individualized topics.
These topics will be catered to your company, and could include anything from what is Autism? To how to best work with your employees with different needs. Outside of autism and developmental disabilities, many of our staff are trained and experienced in a subspeciality of ABA known as Performance Management (or Organizational Behavior Management). This speciality is related to engaging staff, increasing performance and other business needs utilizing behavior analysis. We would love the opportunity to work with you and your business!
