Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
A functional behavior assessments (FBA) supports the identification of important conditions surrounding a behavior of concern. FBA’s have three main categories; indirect (interviews), observations, and functional analysis. At Aamani we are highly experienced with FBA’s which are the foundation to supporting our clients.
Functional Analysis (FA)
A functional analysis is a methodology in ABA that helps to identify why a behavior is occurring. An FA is a higher level of an FBA and confirms the findings of the FBA if needed.
Verbal Behavior
Verbal behavior intervention (VBI) is founded in ABA and supports the development of language and communication with those experiencing language delays.
Acceptance & Commitment Training (ACT)
A behavioral- analytic approach which evaluates how thoughts, feelings, and sensations influence overt behavior. Brooke implements acceptance and commitment training (ACT) to support individuals in coping with complex thoughts, emotions, and sensations so that they can meet personal goals.
Aggression, Self-injury, Outburst
At Aamani, we specialize in the reduction of socially inappropriate and potentially harmful behavior, such as self-injury, aggression, and behavioral outbursts.
What Our Clients Say
Real stories from Aamani Behavioral Health customers
If there were more stars I’d give them to Brooke. She is an incredible combination of highly intelligent, highly intuitive, kind, well informed, and resourceful. She is so good at everything she does and more than that, she makes everyone better around her–so gracefully and seemingly effortlessly, though having texted her at all hours, I know that she is working so hard to help my family. She is always prepared with tools, ideas, and answers to our questions. She has worked in my home with my son and us, his parents, which could be an awkward arrangement but Brooke is so gracious and never makes us feel defeated about our parenting or our efforts (or lack thereof!), but is also an amazing role model who my son really responds to and loves. As much as we wish we could bottle what Brooke’s got, we don’t need to because she is teaching us everything we need to know for the rest of this parenting journey. The stars aligned when we got paired with Brooke so many years ago and we couldn’t be more thankful.
