Staff Training and Development

     Ability Network works with agencies and their staff to provide in-service training, extended workshops, or ongoing mentoring and consulting. Due to numerous formats and topics, timelines and consultation, outcomes can be determined at the time of entering into a contract. These services are provided on a limited basis.

Positive Behavioral Support

     Qualified behavior specialists will meet with the individual, family members, support staff, and others to assess situations and environments in which there are concerns. Assessments include a functional analysis which attempts to determine the purpose of the behavior and whether change is truly in their best interest. Strategies and interventions will be consistent with Positive Behavioral Support approaches, which hold as a primary premise that behavior is a form of communication. Individuals will be supported to learn effective, appropriate means to communicate their wants, needs, or dislikes. Interventions typically involve staff or family training, communication training, skill training, ecological modifications, etc.

     Ability Network has the experience and skill to provide training, program consultation or support services for your agency. For more information, please contact Leslie Elpers at Ability Network online or call us, toll free, at 1-866-483-3555.
