School Consultation Services for Autism Support
Students spend a significant portion of their week in the classroom, making schools a critical environment for growth, learning, and development. At Behavioral Framework, we recognize that supporting students starts with empowering the educators, administrators, and staff who work with them every day.
We partner with schools to provide practical, evidence-based strategies that help teams effectively support students with diverse learning and behavioral needs. From specialized autism classrooms to general education settings, our approach is grounded in data, consistency, and real-world application, ensuring staff have the tools they need to drive meaningful progress.
Every school system is different. That’s why we collaborate closely with administrators and key stakeholders to develop tailored solutions that align with each system’s goals, staffing models, and student needs, ensuring practical, scalable support that integrates seamlessly into existing programs.
In addition to Board Certified Behavior Analysts, our team includes individuals whose background in the school system is serving as autism coordinators. This unique partnership allows our team to help you implement evidence-based practices in a way that are most effective for your schools. Our team believes in building rapport with teachers and support staff to help them build on their strengths to create the most supportive and successful learning environments for their students.
The goal of our AT team is to increase effective communication for students with disabilities. So, we make recommendations regarding the best and most useful technology to help, while minimizing the waste associated with acquiring and training around technology currently unused due to lack of training and support. From low-tech resources to the most up-to-date technology for voice output and communication, our team can provide specialized training and support on a wide array of resources.
Our providers have served hundreds of clients with complex and acute needs in areas of behavior, communication, social skills, daily living, and academic deficits. Our psychologists provide individual case consultation, IEP support, and consultation, formal observations, and reporting, Functional Behavior Assessments for the development of Behavior Support Plans, and more.
Teaching a child with autism is unique because their sporadic skill sets often mean that teaching sequentially is not always best – or even necessary. We provide teachers with evidence-based recommendations that align with the NDPland National recommendations for students with autism. In addition, we provide an easy, systematic way to plan these differentiated lessons, track progress, and assess understanding.
Our staff is uniquely qualified to provide individualized design and implementation of APE programming. In addition to offering training to physical education staff to conduct evaluations and collaborate with EC teachers to develop individualized, data-driven IEP components, Behavioral Framework also provides staff development regarding using physical activity as a research-based strategy.
Our licensed psychologists have worked within school systems across North Carolina for over 10 years and have received specialized training to complete a variety of assessment measures. A comprehensive evaluation may include mome or all of the following: psychological evaluations (including IQ testing, educational achievement testing), adapted and behavioral evaluations, clinical interviews, and autism evaluations. Our providers can also develop an independent functional behavior assessment.
