Behavioral Therapist Kaylan Hodges with Client at Building Bridges Through Communication in Frisco Tx

At Building Bridges Through Communication (BBTC), our compassionate and highly skilled Board-Certified Behavioral Analysts (BCBAs) are deeply committed to understanding and supporting adults with intellectual and physical disabilities, along with their caregivers and family members, across Collin, Dallas, and Denton Counties. We believe that building strong rapport is the foundation of effective care. Our analysts prioritize active listening, compassionate counseling, and dedicated advocacy to create personalized care and support plans that truly reflect the unique needs of each individual we serve.

Fostering an Environment of Growth and Understanding

Once a behavioral support plan is developed, we promptly share it with the interdisciplinary team. This ensures that everyone involved is aligned in their efforts to create a consistent and supportive environment. Our goal is to empower functional communication, enhance self-care abilities, and promote positive social interactions across various settings, helping individuals thrive in their daily lives.
We conduct comprehensive assessments to identify any challenges and behavioral concerns. More importantly, we are dedicated to equipping caregivers and families with the training they need to implement effective preventative and reactive strategies. We aim to empower families and make a meaningful difference, ensuring that every individual feels heard, supported, and understood.
Behavioral Health at BBTC provides thoughtful and effective strategies for addressing a range of behaviors and promoting positive growth, including:

Aggression: Developing strategies to reduce aggressive behaviors and promote calmer responses.
Self-Injurious Behavior (SIB): Implementing interventions to decrease SIB and ensure safety.
Elopements: Creating plans to prevent elopement and ensure the individual’s safety.
Functional Communication: Teaching effective ways to express needs and wants, reducing the need for challenging behaviors.
Social Skills: Enhancing abilities to interact positively and meaningfully with others.
Noncompliance: Developing strategies to improve cooperation and participation in routines.
Increased Independence: Fostering skills that promote greater autonomy in daily activities.

Our Board-Certified Behavioral Analysts conduct thorough assessments to pinpoint skill deficits and maladaptive behaviors. They then provide comprehensive training to caregivers and families, empowering them to confidently implement both preventative and reactive strategies that foster lasting positive change.
