We strongly believe that meaningful progress is initiated and sustained with knowledgeable assent.

 

Standard behavioral services customarily require consent to provide therapy. This process ensures that the individual and the family are informed and agree to the treatment approach; however, it does not consider the necessity of continual adjustment, understanding and accordance, based on the dynamic needs of the individual and the family. Additionally, consent is granted by an individual of legal age; whereas assent necessitates everyone’s voice to be heard when navigating treatment options.

 

We encourage thoughtful consideration and acknowledge the individual and the family’s perspective throughout treatment. This approach fosters the development and reinforcement of important advocacy skills as well as genuine independence for both the individual and the family.
