Summit Behavioral Therapy is an behavioral therapy company that used applied behavioral analysis to help develop missing skills, reduce maladaptive behaviors, and teach replacement behaviors. Therapy is currently available in home school and community using a hybrid in person and telehealth model. Our goal is to teach our clients helpful and appropriate behaviors to help reduce the clients use of maladaptive and antisocial behaviors. As our clients learn to use these new skills they contact more natural reinforcers in their environments and are less reliant on the maladaptive behaviors to get their wants and needs met. Each client goes through an assessment process to identify what skills are missing, what problem behaviors are occurring, why they may be occuring, and what skills we can teach to help replace those problem behaviors. We then write an Individualized treatment plan and set up a team of one to two registered behavioral therapists and a BCBA to implement the treatment plan working with the client and their caregivers to achieve the best outcomes together.
