Project Description:

The Child Behavior Support Services Unit of the Nisonger Center develops, implements, and monitors behavioral support plans for children and adolescents with challening behaviors. The unit works with individuals, families, service providers, and service coordinators of the Franklin Co. Board of DD. The Nisonger Child Behavior Support staff meets with the family, service providers, and school personnel to conduct interviews and to perform a functional assessment of the child's challenging behaviors. A behavior support plan is developed in consultation with the child's team. Nisonger Child Behavior Support staff trains caregivers in plan implementation and monitoring according to guidelines provided by the Ohio Department of DD and Franklin County Board of DD. Caregivers are expected to collect data on target behaviors, follow the plan, and work with the behavior specialist on an ongoing basis. Staff includes psychologists, behavior specialists, and graduate students.
