Abstract: Children and adolescents with challenging behaviors typically present parents and school personnel with a number of difficult major decisions regarding where they should live and be educated. In some cases, the severities of the behaviors result in individuals being sent to a hospital or residential placement. In the best of circumstances, these placements are relatively short term and, more importantly, in facilities that provide quality behavior analytic services. The focus for these individuals is to reintegrate them into their families, schools, and communities and prevent future such placements. For other individuals, intervention is required to prevent them from being sent to hospitals, residential placement, or more restrictive educational settings. In both cases, the families of these children and adolescents are in need of comprehensive behavioral services. This panel will present a behavior consultation model for addressing both of the situations described above. A number of cases will be presented. Factors that contributed to the success of the model and interventions will be identified and discussed as well as the challenges that remain.
