Behavior Support Services develops behavior programming that is consistent with the Ohio Department of MRDD Behavior Support Rule.  The Coshocton County Board of MRDD's primary goal is to meet the health and safety needs of individuals we serve across all MRDD programs (childhood through adulthood), using positive behavior supports.  The Behavior Support Specialist uses a variety of assessment tools in an attempt to determine the motivation behind the undesired behavior, and to track trends and patterns.   

Behavior Support Services believes in working with a Team of people to help support individuals.  We rely on the knowledge and expertise of others to assist us in developing positive programming to teach people more appropriate ways of communicating their wants and needs.  We also support the families and staff working with the individuals to learn better ways of interacting.  We can also provide training to other agencies.
