Woollard Ipsen Management’s Behavior Consultants follow the principles of person-centered care and positive behavior supports. After our team has received and accepted a referral, the assigned behavior consultant will coordinate visits with the provider and clients to complete the following:

• Initial Behavior Assessment
• Behavior Support Plan Implementation
• Provider Training, Support and Evaluation

We can help with a wide range of concerns, including behaviors involving physical and verbal aggression, elopement, medication refusal, sexually inappropriate behavior such as unwanted touching or unsafe behavior online, stealing, impulsivity and more. We always keep in mind the severity and risk of the individual’s behavior and will collaborate with providers from other disciplines or recommend referrals as needed.

Throughout the process of providing BSS, we will work with and consult with other professionals collaborating with the client, including the APD Case Manager for Medicaid eligible clients and other multidisciplinary teams to effectively serve the client.
