Behavioral Stepping Stones was founded in 2015 by Misty Perez Estevez. Misty wanted to provide a center and home-based service that specializes in developing skill acquisition, (i.e., language acquisition, social skills, etc.,) as well as behavior reduction programs for individuals with Autism, and other developmental, intellectual, and learning disorders.

​

​

Our overarching goal is to produce lasting changes in the quality of life of the people we serve. This involves conducting a comprehensive assessment to develop individualized interventions in collaboration with family members, educators, direct services providers, and others caring for the individual. The following steps provide an overview of our process:

 

• Assessment:

  • Identify goals and individual's behaviors of concern

  • Complete record reviews and interviews with caregivers

  • Conduct observations across activities and settings

 

• Plan Design:   

  • Identify patterns surrounding behavior (ABCs)   

  • Develop interventions to prevent problems, teach skills, and respond effectively

  • Create a comprehensive written behavior support plan

 

• Intervention:             

  • Provide training for caregivers using modeling and feedback

  • Coach implementation, gradually fading assistance

 

• Evaluation:                

  • Gather data on child’s behavior, skill development, and life changes

  • Monitor and report on progress, adjusting strategies as needed

  • Graduate from services when goals are achieved

 

 

All Treatments and Services are delivered by our team of highly qualified, Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), as well as Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and Behavior Assistants (BAs).
