Behavioral Consultant Services
Do you care for a child with challenging behaviors? You may need the support of a Behavioral Consultant.
Every child has his or her own
unique personality and can make us
laugh, cry, puff with pride or make
us blush.
Children, like adults, learn to cope in
various situations. On occasion, a
child might not cope appropriately
in a given situation. As a caregiver,
your heart goes out to this child but
you just don’t know how to respond.
You need help.
A Behavioral Consultant is there to
provide you with the assistance and
support you need, at no cost to you.

How a Behavioral Consultant Can Help
The Behavioral Consultant provides services free of charge. Assistance can be
offered to you through phone conversations, sending informational packets to you
based on requested subject areas, or a
visit to your location to discuss your needs
and observe the child of concern.
Contact the consultant as soon as you
become aware of a concern. No issue is
too minor.
Remember, the Behavioral Consultant is
here to support you. They are not Child
Care Licensing Specialists. Every consultation is confidential.
Teaching children appropriate behavior is a
team effort between parents and child
care providers. A Behavioral Consultant
adds another important link to the team.
