Applied Behavior Analysis and WRF: the remarkable success stories...

Picture
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the science of understanding and improvement of human behavior.

ABA can be used to change behavior by understanding these subtle relationships between a targeted behavior and outside factors. The Foundation's staff and leadership focuses on the relationship of behavior to the environment.  Plans are developed for each client, a protocol established for the staff and the clients closely monitored.

Some of the clients at WRF present with extreme behavioral excesses - yet the track record of success has touched countless lives and families.

Parents and Educators:  To follow specific case studies (the confidentiality of the client will be maintained) and commentary from Tim Boydstun, the Behaviorist for WRF, please go "Tim's Blog" on this site or click here.  Tim will be providing insights and updates regarding the activities and advances at the Foundation.
