About BBC

Mission

​Beckhom Behavioral Consulting, LLC., was established for the purpose of helping to enhance the quality of life of children and youth affected by Autism and related developmental disabilities. We aim to provide high quality educational and behavioral services that are comprehensive, individualized, and developmentally appropriate. We are dedicated to utilizing approaches that are best practice and research driven. We believe the best way to accomplish this mission is to work within the evidence-based practices of Applied Behavior Analysis. We strongly believe that a child's needs cannot be met by providing treatment in isolation and therefore pride ourselves on forging collaborative partnerships with families, schools, and communities whom have vested interest in improving the lives of the children and youth we serve.

Philosophy 

Beckhom Behavioral Consulting believes:

• With the right supports and opportunities, All children can learn 
• There are unique learning advantages that exist in early childhood, therefore early intervention is essential 
• Learning is a lifelong experience, so its never too late to start treatment
• Treatment advice should be derived from scientifically sound research
• Recommendations should be relevant and fit the unique needs of each family, child, and/or community being served 
• Communication and decision-making should be a collaborative effort between all parties involved​​
