Why Choose a Rehabilitation Psychologist for Conduct Disorder?
Unique Expertise in Behavioral Rehabilitation
A rehabilitation psychologist is trained to treat disruptive behavior disorders by looking beyond surface symptoms to neurological, emotional, and environmental factors. This dual lens allows us to match every behavior with a targeted, evidence-based response.
Integrated Care for Complex Cases
Many children with oppositional defiant disorder treatment needs also have ADHD and conduct disorder or hidden trauma and conduct disorder. Our team coordinates with psychiatrists, speech therapists, and special educators so nothing falls through the cracks.
Family-Centered Approach
Parents are the most powerful change agents. From day one, we teach parent management training techniques that you can use at home, school, and in the community.
Our Rehabilitation Psychologists' Approach to Conduct Disorder
We start small, measure relentlessly, and iterate fast.
Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
We observe triggers, timing, and pay-offs for every outburst, then create a behavior intervention plan for conduct disorder that replaces problem behaviors with healthier alternatives.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Adaptations
We simplify CBT into child-friendly games and role-plays that help kids:
- Label emotions before they explode.
- Practice “stop-think-act” routines.
- Build self-talk scripts for high-stress moments.
Parent Management Training (PMT)
Weekly coaching sessions teach you how to:
- Use consistent, calm consequences.
- Reward tiny steps of cooperation.
- De-escalate meltdowns without giving in.
School Collaboration & IEP Support
We attend IEP meetings, train teachers in classroom management for conduct disorder, and design 504 plan accommodations such as movement breaks or preferential seating.
