Full-Day School Support

 Full-day school support means a behavior therapist provides in-school support across the Learner’s routines, with ongoing BCBA supervision. The focus is participation, skill-building, and reducing disruptive behavior through function-based strategies. 

 No. A shadow teacher often functions as general classroom help. Our model is behavior-analytic support, the therapist implements individualized strategies, teaches replacement skills, collects practical data, and is supervised by a BCBA with a clear plan to build independence. 

 Support is designed to fade. We use prompt-fading and independence targets so the Learner can participate with less adult support over time, based on measurable progress. 

 Yes, with caregiver consent. We align strategies with classroom expectations and coach staff so responses are consistent across adults and settings. 

 Common targets include transitions, task completion, staying with the group, waiting, functional communication (help, break), and reducing behaviors that interfere with learning or safety. 

 Yes. We support Learners with autism, developmental delays, and behavior challenges, including Learners without a diagnosis when school participation is impacted and structured support is clinically indicated.
