Welcome to Behavior In Motion

Behavior In Motion provides a data based, behavioral approach aimed at increasing physical coordination, strength, endurance, compliance, and social skills via individual and group sessions within a gymnastics environment.  Each client is given an assessment to examine their strength, motor planning, gross motor imitation, functional communication, social skills, and any aversions to movements, heights, body positions, or other stimuli.

All of our staff are trained and supervised to work with children with special needs. All Behavior In Motion staff are required to take and pass a 40-hour Registered Behavior Technician course during their probationary training period.
