Behavior Support
at Stepping Stones

Positive behavior is the foundation for learning and growth. At Stepping Stones, our behavior support programs are designed to help children build self-control, confidence, and the skills they need to thrive in everyday life. Here’s how we guide and support behavior development:

Functional Behavior Assessment – We identify the reasons behind challenging behaviors and understand what your child is trying to communicate.
Positive Reinforcement – We use encouragement and rewards to motivate children, promoting positive choices and consistent progress.
Skill Replacement – Instead of simply reducing unwanted behaviors, we teach healthier, practical alternatives that meet the same needs.
Self-Regulation Strategies – Children learn calming techniques, coping skills, and emotional awareness to manage frustrations and transitions.
Parent & Teacher Guidance – We work closely with families and schools to ensure consistent approaches, providing strategies that can be applied at home and in the classroom.
