What We Do
We use ABA principles of behavior and behavior change tactics, chosen based on each child’s unique needs, to teach new skills/behaviors and to reduce challenging behaviors.
Our Mission
Grand Valley Behavior is a team of passionate and skilled Board-Certified Behavior Analysts and Registered Behavior Technicians, using trauma assumed Applied Behavior Analysis. GVBSC emphasizes outdoor and naturalistic environment teaching, and partners with families, clients, and therapy teams across the Western Slope to support confident and capable children and caregivers.
Our Philosophy
At GVBSC, we work as a team to empower caregivers and clients to achieve the skills they need to access a meaningful and fulfilling life. We create treatment plans based on our clients' unique strengths, needs, hopes and dreams and prioritize the client and their family’s perspective when determining what goals will be most meaningful and result in the best outcomes.
At GVBSC, to maintain an environment where vulnerability is valued as a critical component of learning and empowerment, we operate with kindness, compassion, integrity, and respect for the perspectives each team member and client bring to our community.
Our Settings
We have 3 center-based locations, 2 in downtown Grand Junction and 1 in the Redlands. However, we provide services in multiple settings: home, community, and in our centers. GVBSC prioritizes outdoor learning and recognizes the value added to our clients' learning when we do not restrict their ability to learn in nature. Our center settings are designed to support both individual and social skills and to enhance development across developmental domains (communication, cognitive, social, emotional, motor, and adaptive).
