Heart Core ABA facilitates a collaborative approach to developing and implementing autism behavior plans within Missouri schools. The process focuses on bridging the gap between clinical support and the educational environment to ensure consistency for the student.

Key aspects of this collaboration include:

• Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA): Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) conduct assessments within the school to identify the underlying reasons for challenging classroom behaviors. This assessment is compliant with state educational guidelines.
• BIP Development: Our BCBAs work directly with teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents to draft a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP). This plan is designed to be integrated into the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and focuses on building communication, confidence, and independence.
• Hands-on Support: Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) provide 1:1 sessions directly in the classroom. This allows for the seamless integration of behavioral strategies into daily school routines under BCBA supervision.
• Ongoing Communication: The consultation process involves regular meetings with school staff and providing weekly progress updates to families to ensure the team remains aligned.
• District Navigation: Because district policies vary across Missouri, our team helps families navigate specific requirements in cities like Kansas City, St. Louis, and Columbia to advocate for effective IEP integration.
