Behavior Management
New Wave Wellness is a behavior support services provider, also known as behavior management. Rooted in building trust and lasting relationships, behavior management is a scientific method that is based on the idea that problem behavior is learned over time and maintained by consequences in the environment. Effective behavioral management often requires teaching a new skill or appropriate behavior to replace an inappropriate behavior. Assessments and Behavior Support Plans are completed to target problem behaviors and provide our team with methods to support the individual in reducing pain associated with poor choice making and increase personal happiness by teaching more appropriate alternative behaviors. Consistency and repetition are key components to sustainable behavioral change.
Music therapy is one of the services offered by New Wave Wellness. Here, music is used in a healing context to attend to the whole individual, from their physiological to their mental to their social requirements. Since music therapy is already recognized as a medical specialty, it must be provided by a credentialed professional. After gathering information about the individual, our music therapist creates a treatment strategy tailored specifically to them. Activities in this plan involve musical expressions such as creating, performing, or appreciating music. Through participation in music with our music therapist, a patient’s skills are strengthened and transferred to other areas of life. Music therapy can help those who have trouble finding the right words to express themselves by providing them with a new way to connect with others and with themselves.
