Behavior Frontiers Response
8yWe are unaware of any employee being terminated without warning or discussion. Providing exceptional treatment for our clients is of utmost importance, which is why we have such high standards regarding the behavior instructors who work with our clients. One thing I would like to point out is that aggression is not part of the autism diagnosis and the majority of our clients with autism are not aggressive. Furthermore, we provide Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training from the Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) to all our employees who are assigned to clients with aggression. Additionally, our managers and BCBAs design individualized behavior intervention plans for each client, which describe the exact methods that behavior instructors should use to prevent and respond to aggression. The managers and BCBAs also provide behavior skills training to behavior instructors, in which they model techniques, observe performance, and provide feedback to the instructors to help them master the strategies. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
