S.T.E.P.S. provides positive behavior support services by utilizing Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) and Person-Centered Practices (PCP).

BCBAs observe and spend time with each participant to develop individualized functional behavior assessment plans to improve behaviors that interfere with daily living, relationships, and job opportunities. Over time, replacement strategies are learned which leads to increased independence, improved community involvement and employment relationships.

Increasing skills is the best way to increase confidence in ourselves. This is how we become active, respected and productive members of our communities. At S.T.E.P.S. our goal is to maximize confidence, independence and productivity in ourselves and others.

Below is a limited list of skills S.T.E.P.S. will address:

Entering the work field can elicit a mix of emotions; from excitement to fear. At S.T.E.P.S. we offer training in job readiness to decrease the anxiety that comes along with employment. We focus on workplace relationships, employer expectations, receiving feedback, volunteering, job searching, appropriate attire, time management, resume writing and more.

We aim to match people’s interests and abilities with volunteer / employment opportunities in a range of organizations and skillsets.
