Behavior Management

Every behavior, good or bad, is exhibited for a reason. Community Solutions works hard to try and identify the purpose of each behavior; is it for attention, to get something they want, because they are afraid, to express emotion, etc. Once we have a better understanding as to "why" the behavior is occurring, we can begin to developing a strategy to address the true issue.
Each of our residents has individual behavior plans and protocol for the maladaptive behaviors that are at risk of being demonstrated. These protocols guide staff on how to minimize the risk of the behavior occurring as well as what to do to redirect or intervene when the behavior occurs. With all behavior we try to allow as many natural consequences to occur vs. developing artificial environments. We feel this promotes more respect and learning in real-life situations.
