Disruptive Behaviors Program
You’re not the only parent whose child won’t stop hitting other kids (or screaming at you).
When is the Disruptive Behaviors Program right?
These are some of the disruptive and impulsive behaviors we see the most. If you’re seeing some of these (or others) at home, we can help you understand why and address them.
Tantrums or other behavioral upsets around everyday tasks, asks, or activities
Impulsive actions without thought of values or consequences
Behaviors that seem to get them into trouble at school or with friends
Difficulty following directions when completing tasks or leaving the house
What to expect
Brightline’s Disruptive Behaviors Program sessions can be held in person or virtually. We provide kids up to age 18 with symptom assessment, testing, diagnoses, and treatment including:
Evidence-based interventions including behavioral Parent Management Training (PMT), for oppositional defiant disorder, and other specified disruptive, impulsive, and conduct disorders and behaviors including tantrums, following directions, irritability, impulsivity, and frustration tolerance
Information gathering (with parent permission) from important adults in your child’s life, like teachers and other care providers, to ensure a well-rounded view of your child
Between-session practice plans that support your child as they start using the skills they’re learning in real-life situations
A combination of agreed-upon session types (child-focused and caregiver-focused without the child) that include learning about emotions and behaviors, skill building, barrier identification, measured progress, and homework plans for continuity between sessions
Hear what Brightline parents have to say
“My son was very nervous about therapy, but he instantly connected with his therapist. He looked forward to chatting with her each week and telling others about his positive experience. I noticed improvements in his mood and behavior after only a few sessions. I'm very thankful for Brightline!”
