Our Core Values
All individuals have the right to…
Behavioral Health
ABA targets observable, measurable behaviors that contribute to physical and mental well-being, optimal functioning in everyday life, and positive concept of self. People respond to the environment (behavior); ABA provides opportunities to learn in specific, observable ways that lead to desired outcomes (health).
Meaningful Outcomes
Based on individuals’ preferences, skills, and abilities. Measurable health, education, and well-being improvements are gained through individualized treatment and education that maximizes individual potential, with terminal goals of being included in and valued by the community.
Quality of Life (QoL)
QoL is the degree to which people feel healthy, comfortable, and enjoy participating in life events in the context of their culture and value systems. QoL is the intersection of physical health, mental and emotional well-being, independence, relationships with others, and the environment.
