TBS clinicians meet with clients ages 4-20 and their caregivers in their homes, communities and schools multiple times each week for at least an hour at a time, depending on a client's needs. Clinicians learn how to use several behavioral interventions, including how to do a functional behavior analysis, develop functionally equivalent replacement behaviors with a youth and promote those adaptive behaviors across all of the client's settings.
