Home of the Key Connection Model of Support
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. The Key Connection Model is an ABA strength-based, person-centered, approach that combines Positive Behavior Support {PBS} with motivational interviewing techniques to promote positive behavior change. The Key-Connection model teaches individuals the prerequisite self- regulation skills necessary to manage emotions in real-time, engage in meaningful relationships, and actively participate in a fulfilling life.
NECA staff here in Massachusetts are trained in a wide range of family-centric interventions and committed to the belief that sustainable behavior change requires organized, integrated supports, well-taught over time. Effectively Teaching the skills of flexibility requires social-skill development and self-management practices embedded in consistent, predictable supports delivered by caring, committed staff.
The Key Connection Model is a strength-based, person-centered approach that combines Positive Behavior Support (PBS) with motivational interviewing techniques to support positive behavior change.
The desire to be more independent, the hope that challenging behaviors will improve, and the expectation that coping skills will be available when needed, are genuine concerns caregivers struggle with every day. In our haste to expand and enhance the lives of those we support, we have failed to provide the tools necessary to achieve the goal.
True independence requires that individuals have adequate self-management ability, understand what to do in real time, and demonstrate the skills on command.
