Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) is a 6-month term, intensive program that works in collaboration with the client, family and treatment team to support the client in improving their behavior. TBS staff supports clients that are demonstrating behaviors such as verbal aggression, physically aggression and noncompliance. TBS staff supports the client in their natural environment including the home, school and community. The caregiver is an essential part of the team, so we require you to work with the TBS staff during weekly consultation to identify triggers, learn new skills and strategies to assist with reducing the client’s challenging behaviors.
