What is BT & Wht It Matters
Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy helps children understand their own behavior, manage big emotions, and learn new skills for handling tough situations. It builds confidence, reduces stress at home and school, and strengthens relationships with family and peers.
School readiness
A child who can listen, follow routines, and manage frustration succeeds in the classroom.
Family peace
Clear routines and strategies reduce daily conflicts and stress at home.
Peer relationships
Better self-control and social awareness mean your child can play, cooperate, and make friends.
Confidence & independence
As your child masters new skills, they feel proud and more willing to try new things.

RASYA's BT Process
Our Behavioral Therapy (BT) Components
Our BT is designed to help all children that require additional help to prgress in school and life.
Our BT Assessment Process
Before therapy starts, we understand your child’s behavior in detail—what triggers challenges, what works, and what skills to focus on. This guides a practical, personalized plan.
What happens
- Initial parent meeting: We ask detailed questions about your child's behavior across home, school, and social settings. We also discuss your biggest concerns and goals.
- Observation: Our therapist watches your child during activities, play, and interaction to understand natural behavior patterns.
- Functional behavior assessment (if needed): We identify what triggers certain behaviors and what your child gets from them (e.g., attention, escape, sensory input).
- Strengths & interests: We also identify what motivates your child, what they enjoy, and what they do well.
- Written plan: You get a clear report with specific goals, strategies, and a day-to-day behavior plan.
How We Do Behavioral Therapy – Our Approach
We use evidence-based methods (including ABA principles) that focus on understanding why a behavior happens and teaching new, helpful skills. Therapy is collaborative, positive, and always involves parents.
Our methods
- Positive reinforcement: We encourage and reward effort and progress—not just perfect behavior.
- Clear expectations: Your child knows exactly what is expected, when, and what happens if they do it well.
- Teach, don't just punish: When behavior is challenging, we teach a better way instead of only correcting.
- Functional skills: Every strategy is practical and works in real life (school, home, social settings).
- Consistency: Parents, teachers, and therapists all use the same language and strategies so your child learns faster.
- Motivation-based: We use your child's interests and strengths to keep them engaged.
Therapy Schedule & Duration
Behavioral therapy sessions are typically 45–60 minutes, 3–5 times per week. Sessions can be individual or in small groups, depending on goals and your child’s needs.
Frequency Guidance
- Mild concerns: 3 sessions/week, 8–12 weeks for children withbminor attention issues, occasional meltdowns
- Moderate challenges: 3-5 sessions/week, 12–20 weeks for children with frequent defiance, difficulty with social skills
- More complex needs: 5 sessions/week, ongoing with regular reviews for children with significant behavior patterns, autism-related challenges
We review progress every 4–6 weeks and adjust the plan as needed.
Social Skills Groups & Peer Learning
Small group sessions are a powerful way for children to practice social skills with peers in a safe, guided setting. Groups focus on cooperation, turn-taking, friendship, and fun.
Group sessions
- Bi-weekly or weekly: Groups meet 2–3 times per month alongside individual sessions.
- Small & safe: 2–4 children per group, carefully matched by age and skill level.
- Structured activities: Games, role-plays, snack time, and cooperative projects.
- Real-life skills: Children practice starting conversations, handling losing a game, sharing, and helping a peer.
- Parent debrief: After group, therapist briefly tells you what happened and what to reinforce at home.
Integration with Speech, OT, Autism Services & SRP
If your child is in SRP, attends our Bridge School, or needs other therapies (speech, OT, autism-specific support), behavioral strategies are woven into all activities. One team, one plan.
How integration works
- Shared goals: If your child has a speech goal (e.g., "use words instead of screaming"), BT supports this through calming strategies and communication practice.
- Coordinated sessions: BT and OT might address sitting posture together; BT and speech might work on asking for things appropriately.
- Classroom/group behavior: If your child is in SRP or Bridge School, teachers and therapists all use the same behavior strategies during the day.
- Unified reporting: One monthly summary covering all therapies and services.
Parent Involvement & Home Strategies
The most powerful change happens at home. We teach you concrete, easy-to-use strategies to handle challenging moments and build positive routines every single day.
How we support parents
- Behavior plan sheet: Simple, clear strategies written down so every caregiver (parents, grandparents, nanny) uses the same approach.
- Weekly or bi-weekly check-ins: Quick phone or in-person updates on what your child did well and what to focus on next.
- Home activity ideas: 5–10 minute activities to practice skills during meals, play, or daily routines (e.g., "play a turn-taking game," "practice calming down together").
- Demonstration sessions: We show you how to handle a meltdown, give clear instructions, or reward good behavior.
- Video clips or diary notes: Weekly written updates so you know exactly what happened and what strategies worked.
- Monthly parent review: Formal meeting to celebrate progress, discuss challenges, and adjust the plan.
- Coaching for tough moments: Real-time guidance if you face a situation that feels overwhelming.
Outcomes You Can Expect
Most families see noticeable, practical changes in their child’s daily behavior, focus, and social confidence within 2–4 months. We measure progress in ways parents can easily see and verify.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. BT teaches new skills, not just corrects mistakes. We help your child understand why a behavior isn’t working and learn a better way. Punishment alone doesn’t teach.
BT helps manage ADHD symptoms like hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention by building structure, routines, and self-control skills. It often works best paired with school support and medical advice if recommended by a doctor.
Yes. BT addresses repetitive behaviors, social skills, transitions, and communication in children with autism. Often paired with autism-specific therapy and OT for best results.
It depends on the goals and starting point. Some children need 3–6 months, others 6–12 months. We review every 4–6 weeks and adjust. Many families continue with monthly check-ins after core goals are met.
We adjust activities and therapists based on your child’s interests. If there’s consistent resistance, we discuss with you whether the approach, frequency, or therapist fit needs to change.
Not necessarily—behavior support is built into the school day. However, individual BT sessions help with home challenges, social anxiety, or more complex behavior patterns.
Schools offer classroom management and general support. Our BT is personalized, based on a detailed assessment, and includes intensive parent coaching. We also focus on home and social settings, not just school.
That’s a medical decision between you and your child’s doctor. BT and medical treatment can work together. We support whatever path your family chooses.
Yes. BT includes calming strategies, exposure to feared situations in a safe way, and confidence-building activities. Many shy or anxious children benefit from BT combined with social skills groups.
Sometimes, when we change routines or set new expectations, behavior temporarily gets harder before it gets better (called an “extinction burst”). We prepare you for this and support you through it.
In-person sessions are most effective because they allow direct observation and real-time coaching. However, some parent coaching, check-ins, or social skills group activities can be done online if needed.
You’ll see measurable changes in focus, meltdowns, compliance, social skills, or specific behaviors within 4–8 weeks. We track progress with behavior charts and clear goals, so you can verify improvement yourself.
BT is adapted for children with trauma history. We use trauma-informed, gentle approaches. If your child needs specialized trauma support, we discuss referrals and may integrate BT with other services.
