Building Strong Educational and Social Foundations

Consultation at Targeted Support provides increased guidance and support around the use of evidence-based strategies, curriculums, and methods to boost or target the positive behavior framework outlined in Universal Support for those students not benefiting from universal supports. Assessment looks to ensure fidelity of Universal Support first, screen for those requiring additional support, and determine how and when additional intervention can and will be delivered. Consultation focuses on providing support to professional staff such as social workers, guidance counselors, psychologists, as well as related services including Speech and OT on the use of behaviorally-based strategies to support positive behavior, often in small group settings. Common interventions include the use of ACT and AIM curriculums, check in/check out systems, and social skill groups to target the lagging skills needed to benefit from universal supports.
