functional assessments
positive behavior plans, and support to maintain the plan
consultation
advocacy

Among Friends, LLC currently has a small staff of Behavior Professionals with plans to expand in the near future. If you/your client/the person you support have/has a preference to work with a particular member of our staff we will do our best to accommodate that request.
However, it is important to understand that this may delay us being able to start services until that staff member has an opening in their schedule. Find out more about our staff.
Our agency believes that it is important for our team to learn and grow together so we meet weekly to review behaviors, brainstorm strategies, share resources, and discuss any issues of concern.
