Adolescent Program

The Adolescent Program at SJ Behavior Services is built to support teens during a critical stage of development. Using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, we address behavioral, emotional, academic, and social challenges in a respectful and engaging way. Our team helps adolescents build coping strategies, strengthen communication, and develop self-advocacy skills that serve them both now and into adulthood.

We also emphasize collaboration with families and schools to ensure consistency and success across all environments. Each plan is uniquely designed to meet the teen’s goals, whether it’s building friendships, managing emotions, or preparing for life after high school. With compassionate guidance, we help teens gain the tools they need to thrive with confidence. Your teen’s growth is our shared mission—and we’re here every step of the way.

• Social learning is one of the most natural and effective forms of reinforcement in daily life. For individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), challenges with social awareness and communication often create barriers to connection and growth.
• The Adolescent Program at SJ Behavior Services is designed to support teens on the spectrum who struggle with forming and maintaining meaningful relationships. We also help them learn and apply coping strategies to better manage the everyday challenges they may encounter.
