Behavior intervention programs must keep dignity and self-worth at the forefront

The goal of a behavior intervention programs is to teach beneficial skills while also reducing behaviors that prevent full functioning in that person’s natural environment. While these goals provide the foundation for behavior change, they cannot and should not be accomplished without considering the dignity and self-worth of the person at the forefront of the intervention.
