Howard Intervention Center provides a school-based consultation approach to support teachers and staff in scientifically based behavior modification. When working with school districts the identified client/student does not have to have an autism diagnosis, only a need for behavior modification. Howard Intervention Center will observe, assess, and write a behavior modification program for the identified student and train the teacher/team to carry it out to bring a positive change in the environment and student.

Howard Intervention Center is THE go-to resource for local schools when they need supplemental ABA therapy services to meet new challenges and reach behavior goals. We provide a range of support, for in-school and/or home-bound/schooled students.
