Functional Communication Training (FCT) is essential because it teaches individuals how to replace challenging behaviors with appropriate, effective communication skills. By identifying the purpose or function of the problematic behavior, FCT helps individuals express their needs and desires in an efficient, effective, and socially useful manner. This approach not only reduces the occurrence of disruptive behaviors but also empowers individuals to engage more positively with others, enhancing their overall quality of life and fostering better relationships in various settings.
Residential programs are often tasked to supports individuals that exhibit challenging behaviors such as difficulties with transitions, limited community access, limited communication, and poor interpersonal relationships. By providing organizations, programs, and staff with additional resources, we can empower them to better support the individuals in their care. This, in turn, will lead to improved retention, increased safety, and greater levels of skill development for everyone involved.
