Records and history review
We review prior behavior plans, assessments and incident reports, and gather input from parents, support coordinators and healthcare providers.
Behavior Treatment Plan Writing. Ready for PRC review.
Behavior treatment plans for Arizona DDD providers, written with your team and prepared for the Program Review Committee (PRC). Our BTP author attends the PRC meeting with you and makes the changes the committee asks for.
A member needs a plan.
We’ll help you write it.
Division policy requires a Behavior Plan when a member’s support includes a Restricted Technique, such as psychotropic medication. We gather the records, define the behaviors and write a plan your staff can follow.
See how it worksBuilt with your team. Ready for the PRC.
We write each plan from the member’s records and your team’s knowledge of the member. Then we prepare the submission packet and attend the review with you.
Target and replacement behaviors
Each target behavior is described in observable, measurable terms, alongside the replacement behaviors or skills your staff will teach.
Strategies, data and crisis steps
Proactive, reactive and reinforcement strategies, data collection guidelines, a crisis plan and clear responsibilities for each staff member.
PRC submission and meeting
We assemble the plan with its supporting documents, attend the PRC meeting with you and make any changes the committee requests.
How BTP writing with our team works.
Our BTP writing process runs from the first conversation to the committee’s review.
Request BTP writing
Send a request through our contact form or call (480) 493-4775. Tell us how many plans you need, how many target behaviors each member has and any deadline.
We confirm the scope and price with you before work begins.
Understand the member’s needs
We meet with your agency or group home to discuss the member’s behavioral challenges and goals. We review previous behavior plans, assessments and incident reports.
We also gather input from parents, support coordinators and healthcare providers, so the plan reflects everyone involved in the member’s care.
Define target behaviors
Together with your team, we identify and prioritize the behaviors to address and describe them in observable, measurable terms, such as how often or how long they occur.
We also define the replacement behaviors or skills to teach, so the plan builds positive alternatives.
Develop interventions and strategies
Based on the functional behavioral assessment, we develop proactive strategies such as environmental changes and communication supports, and reactive strategies such as de-escalation.
Reinforcement strategies encourage replacement behaviors. Where professionals recommend specialized techniques, we include them.
Write the behavior treatment plan
The plan covers member information, target behaviors, behavior goals, intervention and reinforcement strategies, data collection guidelines, a crisis plan and staff responsibilities.
We write it to align with the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) requirements in Arizona.
Review the draft with your team
We go through the draft with you in a review meeting, gather feedback and adjust the plan so your staff can carry it out.
Submit the plan to the PRC
We compile the submission packet: the plan, the member’s Person-Centered Service Plan (PCSP), the most recent medication review and the behavior data collected over time, with the required Division forms completed.
Attend the PRC meeting and follow up
Our BTP author attends the PRC meeting with you and answers the committee’s questions about the strategies and data.
If the committee asks for changes, we revise the plan with your team and resubmit it for final review.

Your questions about BTP writing.
When a member needs a plan, how PRC review works and what happens if the committee asks for changes.
(480) 493-4775When does a DDD member need a behavior treatment plan?
Division policy requires a Behavior Plan when a member’s behavior support includes a Restricted Technique. When a member is prescribed a psychotropic medication, the planning team has 90 days from the date the prescription is first filled to submit a Behavior Plan to the PRC.
The same 90 days apply after a move to a new community residential setting. Within that time, the team identifies target behaviors, collects baseline data and develops functionally related replacement behaviors. See Behavior Supports Manual, Chapter 800.
What is the Program Review Committee (PRC)?
The PRC is a Division committee that reviews Behavior Plans. It decides by unanimous consent to approve a plan, approve it with changes or deny it, and the plan’s author is expected to attend the review. See Behavior Supports Manual, Chapter 400.
Does your BTP author attend the PRC meeting?
Yes. The author of your plan attends the PRC meeting with you, answers the committee’s questions and works with you on any changes it asks for.
What happens if the PRC asks for changes?
We review the committee’s feedback, revise the plan with your team and resubmit it. Division policy asks for plans approved with required changes to be resubmitted within 10 business days of the decision, so we stay in close contact with you during that time.
Can you guarantee PRC approval?
No. The PRC makes its own decision on every plan. We write each plan to Division requirements and support you through the review.
Do you also offer ongoing DDD consulting?
Yes. BTP writing is available on its own. Agencies that want support with vendor applications, compliance and daily operations can explore our DDD consulting service.
How much does BTP writing cost?
The price depends on how many plans you need and how many target behaviors each member has. We confirm it with you before work begins.
Need a behavior plan for a member?
Send us a request or call our team. We’ll explain the scope, price and next steps before work begins.
Requests go to our team through the contact form. You can also call Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Arizona time.
