Shaping Behavior Solutions is a Kansas City-based company providing individualized ABA therapy and behavioral supports for people of all ages.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding and effectively changing behavior to improve outcomes. ABA is based on principles that help us understand behavior and how it is influenced by the environment.
At Shaping Behavior Solutions, we are committed to supporting adults in achieving their personal goals. Once services begin, we collect and analyze data to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. These data guide ongoing decisions to ensure supports are practical, meaningful, and effective. Our goal is to help you achieve success by focusing on what truly matters—measurable progress and improved quality of life.
At Shaping Behavior Solutions, we proudly serve children and adults at every stage of life. Our team has supported individuals with a wide range of behavioral goals, and we are passionate about creating access to services that meet people where they are. Everyone deserves support that works.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach used to understand and improve behavior. We specialize in supporting children and adults who want to make meaningful changes in their daily lives. Some common challenges we help address include:
Difficulties managing anger or aggression
Engaging in destructive or impulsive behaviors that interfere with goals
Struggles with following through on routines, tasks, or commitments
Excessive talking, interrupting, or difficulty regulating communication
Difficulty starting or completing activities when daily routines are altered
Challenges with social interactions, such as building relationships or navigating conflict
Trouble maintaining healthy habits around eating, sleeping, or exercise
Difficulty staying focused, organized, or engaged in work or personal activities
Avoidance of responsibilities or escaping from stressful situations
Our ABA services are personalized to each individual’s strengths, needs, and goals. We focus on teaching practical, sustainable strategies that help you replace unhelpful patterns with safe and functional alternatives. The ultimate aim is to improve independence, confidence, and overall quality of life — whether at home, at work, or in the community.

During this free 30-minute informational consultation, we’ll take time to understand your needs, goals, and the challenges your family is facing. You’ll receive:
An overview of how our services may be a good fit
Honest feedback and recommendations — even if that means suggesting other resources
A clear outline of possible next steps, with no obligation to begin services
Once we move forward with services, we’ll schedule your first assessment session. During this session, we’ll gather more information based on what was discussed during the consultation, including direct observation when possible. Assessment activities may occur in a variety of settings, depending on your preferences and our availability. The data collected will guide the development of a comprehensive behavior intervention plan tailored to your needs.
After the assessment is completed and services are approved to proceed, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you or your family member’s needs. This plan may include clearly defined goals, evidence-based teaching strategies, and a schedule of recommended service hours. We’ll also outline how progress will be measured and reviewed regularly.
Your treatment plan will serve as a roadmap, helping everyone stay focused on meaningful, measurable goals. We’ll review the plan with you, answer your questions, and collaborate on next steps.
We provide ongoing support through direct services, caregiver coaching, and progress monitoring. As meaningful goals are achieved, services may be gradually reduced based on the individual's needs and clinical recommendations. When support is no longer necessary, we’ll work with you to plan for a smooth transition or discharge. If new needs arise in the future, we welcome the opportunity to reconnect and explore whether services may be appropriate again.
