In group services, Behavior consultants complete the same duties, while also supporting the presentation of curriculum and implementing treatment interventions.
The Behavior Consultant typically serves as consultant to other members of the treatment team. While maintaining some direct contact with child and family, the BC primarily provides assessment, treatment plan development and revision program design and monitoring, rather than direct therapy. The BC is expected to participate in team meetings. When questions or conflict around behavioral paradigms arise in other systems, such as school, (e.g., a review of a behavior paradigm to help the child remain in school), the BC may participate as a consultant in a special child-centered, family focused meetings along with other team members.
