About Mississippi Behavior Services
MBS started as an early intervention center whose main goal was to prepare students to for kindergarten. We worked closely with parents and school system to ensure that we were addressing the needs and concerns of our students on an individualized basis. What we quickly learned was our services were still needed. Students faced new challenges within the classroom that could not be fully replicated within an early intervention center, and parents requested help. We began partnering with local school districts to perform assessments, generate behavior plans, train teaching staff, and educate students on social awareness. MBS experienced yet another metamorphosis, our students that began with us while in the early intervention program, and throughout school were now graduating and needed assistance transitioning as adults. MBS then began to serve the needs of adults living and working within the community. The vision of MBS, “Making Meaningful Change” is something that was invoked within the company even before we realized it. It has been our privilege to “Make Meaningful Change” for the individuals that we have served, and for the ones that we will eventually serve.

The goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits.

ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively.

Even if a provider offers parent training, it may look different from one provider to another. For example, an in-home provider might conduct a parent training session directly following a therapy session with your child to help explain what they’ve been working on with your child. At larger organizations, you might have a support group of families who are dealing with similar issues.
