Ftf Behavioral Consulting

We provide onsite and distance-based training and support to service organizations, schools, and hospitals to optimize processes and outcomes for children and adolescents diagnosed with developmental disabilities who engage in severe problem behavior. Dr. Hanley formed FTF in early 2019 primarily to fulfill the demand for training in practical functional assessment (PFA) and skill-based treatment (SBT) procedures. The company aim is to provide highly effective training and reliable support to professionals attempting to adopt PFA/SBT processes in their practice and to organizations attempting to improve outcomes for the children and young adults they serve who engage in severe problem behavior. Severe Problem Behavior We are experts in assessing and treating severe problem behavior, and skilled in building capacity and confidence in others to do the same. Sleep Problems We build capacity in others to implement an efficient model of assessment and treatment of sleep problems within a three-step process. Stereotypy We are experts in designing effective teaching programs for humanely addressing stereotypy and building capacity in others to do the same. Eating Problems Our approach to assessing and treating eating problems is to provide a relaxed environment in which children are motivated to interact with and eventually eat new and nonpreferred foods. Balance We train organizations in the Balance Program, a home-based, parent- implemented, skill-based approach to preventing the development of severe problem behavior. Preschool Life Skills The Preschool Life Skills (PLS) program is a classroom-based approach to teaching critical social skills to preschoolers to prevent problem behavior from developing or reemerging.
