Home
Programs
Each child works one-on-one with a
behavioral therapist on prescribed goals derived from the intervention
plan. Therapy is delivered in discrete trial training (DTT) and pivotal
response training (PRT) with the focus of generalizing skills across
settings. Each session varies on the needs of the child, but usually
incorporates language acquisition, play skills, self- help skills, behavioral
modification, and social skills trainings.
School
Programs
BHW’s positive behavior support program includes 1:1 behavior
intervention in various school environments for a broad range of challenging
behaviors such as aggression, elopement, self-injury and tantrums. Our primary objective is to improve academic
performance, replace challenging behaviors by teaching appropriate behaviors,
and increase communication, social, and coping skills. BHW believes that students have more to gain
when all relevant providers including the school team work in harmony. Consultation
is offered to families and schools to include Functional Analysis Assessments,
develop Positive Behavior Support plans, consult on individual cases,
participate at IEP meetings, and provide staff trainings.

Our 7 Week Parent Workshop led by Dr. Nguyen is available in the following languages: Vietnamese, Spanish, Korean, and Cambodian. Please contact us at info@behavioralhealthworks.com for more information.
Functional Behavioral Assessment
A Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is conducted by a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA). FBAs assist in identifying and addressing a child’s behavioral challenges. It relies on a variety of direct and indirect techniques and strategies to identify the purposes of specific behavior and to help select interventions to address the challenging behavior.
Independent Psycho-Educational
Evaluation
Independent Psycho-Educational Evaluations
are conducted by a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP) to help understand an
individual’s learning style, strengths, and challenges. The evaluation may aide in identifying a
range of special education eligibility such as Autism, ADHD, Speech and
Language Disorders, Learning Disabilities, and any other disorders that adversely
impact learning.
