BEHAVIORAL SHADOWING


Behavioral Shadowing offers more than just helping your child/adolescent excel in academics.  

Some children and adolescents may experience communication difficulties, socialization difficulties, fine/gross motor deficits, and/or problems focusing.  Such deficits may lead to inappropriate behaviors that can become a concern in the academic environment. Behavioral Shadowing can offer an alternative solution to increasing your child’s attention span and concentration by replacing inappropriate behaviors to more socially acceptable behaviors.

Every child is unique and has different needs, our Interventionists and Specialists strive to understand your child’s emotional states and thought processes, and implement a unique program that will ultimately provide them with the tools they need to be successful in the home and school environment.  Our Interventionists and Specialists are trained in Behavioral Modification and utilize modalities such as Applied Behavioral Analysis and/or Discrete Trial Training. 

At Positive Horizons, our main goal in Behavioral Shadowing is to help your child or adolescent transition to becoming more independent by learning social skills, coping strategies, and healthier habits.  Our Interventionists and Specialists will work one-on-one with your child or adolescent to help build the age-appropriate skills that are essential in their surrounding environments. Since most children and adolescents typically learn modeled behavior from peers at school, our Interventionists focus on enabling successful communication and social interactions with their peers.

Areas of focus include:

  • Building self-esteem and self-confidence
  • Initiating and maintaining social interactions
  • Self-efficacy
  • Critical thinking strategies
  • Self-help skills
  • Interactive and parallel play skills
