At the heart of ICA, our behavior consultants work diligently to provide comprehensive, collaborative, and sustainable support to school personnel through individualized behavior consultation. With a strong commitment to ethical service delivery, we pride ourselves on utilizing only evidence-based practices grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to ensure meaningful, measurable outcomes for students and staff alike.

All ICA consultants hold a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Special Education, or a related field, ensuring a high level of expertise and professionalism in every engagement.

 

Scope of Behavior Consultation Services

Our behavior consultation services are designed to empower school district personnel with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to support a diverse range of student needs — from Tier 1 supports to intensive individual interventions. Services may include, but are not limited to:

1. Staff Training & Capacity Building

  • Direct coaching and modeling for teachers, paraprofessionals, support staff, and administrators

  • In-service trainings on principles of behavior, data collection, behavior intervention planning, and crisis prevention

  • Ongoing mentorship designed to build internal district capacity and reduce long-term reliance on external supports

2. Classroom & Systems-Level Support

  • Classroom observations and environmental assessments to improve classroom management strategies

  • Development and implementation of tiered systems of support (PBIS, MTSS)

  • Support with developing and refining school- or district-wide policies related to behavior management, inclusion, and student engagement

3. Individualized Student Support

  • Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) that are practical, strengths-based, and aligned with student needs

  • Collaboration with IEP teams to ensure legal compliance and educational benefit

  • Ongoing progress monitoring using data-based decision-making frameworks

4. Program Development & Innovation

  • Creation and implementation of novel or specialized programs, including self-contained classrooms, transition services, or inclusive education models

  • Consultation on program design for students with emotional/behavioral disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and other special needs

5. Interdisciplinary Collaboration

  • Coordination with school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and other service providers to ensure consistency across interventions

  • Family engagement strategies to promote generalization of skills beyond the school setting

 

Our Model: Sustainable, Evidence-Based, Collaborative

ICA consultants emphasize partnership and sustainability. From the initial intake through to implementation and follow-up, our consultants work side-by-side with school teams to co-create solutions. Our primary goal is to teach and empower school personnel to become proficient in delivering highly effective behavioral support services.

All consultation services are:

  • Data-driven: Grounded in continuous data collection, analysis, and refinement

  • Individualized: Customized to the unique needs of each school site and student

  • Collaborative: Built around consistent communication with district stakeholders

  • Fading-focused: Structured to gradually reduce consultant involvement as district capacity grows

 

Fading for Long-Term Success

True capacity building means knowing when to step back. As school personnel develop confidence and competence, ICA strategically fades consultation services, ensuring a seamless transition of responsibility to district staff. This supports long-term sustainability and cost-effective outcomes, while reinforcing school ownership of intervention success.
