Summit Behavioral Services

Summit Behavioral Services, founded in 2009, provides a wide variety of behavior supports and training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The company provides services in and around the Kansas City area, in homes, in schools, and at one of the company's two site-based programs. The company's staff consists of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCB... As) and certified ABA Line Therapists, also known as ABA Implementers. The company provides services to children and adults with behavioral needs. Although benefits of ABA techniques are popular for use with children with autism, these behaviorally-based practices are used in much broader ways. From specific, intensive behaviors such as aggression and self-injury, to increasing general instruction-following and on-task behavior, and in teaching other replacement behaviors, communication and social skills, data-based intervention methods are reaching an-ever increasing population of need. The company has experience in developing supports for many people with various diagnoses including: Autism Down Syndrome Oppositional Defiant Disorder Attention Deficit Disorder Persons with intellectual or cognitive impairment Cerebral Palsy Other developmental delays One of the foundational qualities of ABA is that although there may be predisposing physiological and environmental variables, behavior itself is rooted in the context of any given person's environment. Through careful analysis of its function, the company has the ability to influence behavior, regardless of the person's diagnosis or disability. That is an attitude Summit Behavioral Services embraces to face every behavioral challenge with an open mind and creative, individualized programming.
