At Amani Living LLC , our Behavioral Support Services are designed to help individuals who experience behavioral health challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, developmental disabilities, or trauma-related conditions. Our person-centered approach focuses on understanding the root causes of behavior, teaching alternative coping strategies, and fostering emotional well-being in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment.
Service Overview
Our Behavioral Support Services provide individualized intervention and support for children, adolescents, and adults who display behaviors that may interfere with their ability to function successfully at home, school, work, or in the community. These services are rooted in evidence-based practices such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Positive Behavior Support (PBS), Trauma-Informed Care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
This service is ideal for:
- Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or intellectual disabilities
- Youth or adults with emotional disturbance or behavioral disorders
- Clients recovering from trauma or adverse childhood experiences
- Families, schools, or care providers seeking structured behavioral support
We serve clients across multiple settings including residential homes, group homes, day programs, and community environments.
Key Components of Our Behavioral Support Services
1. Comprehensive Behavioral Assessment
Each client begins with a thorough Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) conducted by a qualified Behavior Specialist or Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The assessment includes:
- Observations in natural environments
- Interviews with caregivers, teachers, or direct support staff
- Review of past behavioral patterns and interventions
- Identification of triggers, functions of behavior, and replacement skills
The findings guide the development of an individualized Behavior Support Plan (BSP) .
2. Individualized Behavior Support Plans
Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized Behavior Support Plan outlining strategies to reduce challenging behaviors and promote positive alternatives. Each plan includes:
- Clear definitions of target behaviors
- Proactive strategies to prevent escalation
- Replacement behaviors and skill-building goals
- Crisis intervention protocols
- Data collection tools for progress tracking
Plans are reviewed regularly and updated based on effectiveness and changing needs.
3. Skill-Building & Positive Reinforcement
We focus not only on reducing problematic behaviors but also on building essential life and coping skills that support long-term success.
Targeted skill areas include:
- Emotional regulation and self-calming techniques
- Communication and social interaction
- Problem-solving and decision-making
- Self-advocacy and independence
- Following directions and completing tasks
Positive reinforcement systems—such as token economies, praise, and preferred activities—are used to encourage growth and motivation.
4. Direct Behavioral Intervention
When challenging behaviors occur, our trained staff implement de-escalation techniques and intervention strategies that prioritize safety, dignity, and respect.
Interventions may include:
- Non-violent crisis prevention and response
- Sensory calming tools and spaces
- Redirecting attention and re-framing situations
- Teaching alternative behaviors in real time
- Collaborating with mental health professionals when needed
All interventions align with ethical standards and regulatory requirements.
5. Environmental Modifications
We assess and adapt the physical and social environments to better support the individual’s behavioral needs.
Examples include:
- Structured routines and visual schedules
- Quiet or sensory-friendly spaces
- Visual cues and communication supports
- Consistent expectations and clear boundaries
- Staff training on managing behavioral triggers
These modifications create a more predictable and supportive setting.
6. Family & Caregiver Training
We believe in empowering families and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need to support positive behavior outside of formal sessions.
Training includes:
- Understanding behavior as communication
- Implementing behavior plans consistently
- Using positive reinforcement effectively
- Recognizing early signs of distress
- Supporting emotional regulation at home
Ongoing coaching and support are available to reinforce learning and consistency.
7. Collaboration with Other Professionals

- Medical professionals and primary care providers
This interdisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care and coordinated treatment.

Services include:
- 24/7 emergency on-call support (when applicable)

- Referral to appropriate emergency services if needed
- Prevention strategies to reduce future crises
We emphasize recovery, reflection, and rebuilding trust after each incident.
