Alpha Opportunities Inc. is an organization directed by the people supported.
Alpha’s philosophy rests in the use of positive behavior supports. These supports stem from a strong person-centered value base which places dignity and respect for the person at its core. The emphasis is on outcomes important to the person. It promotes positive changes through environmental alterations and reinforcement of adaptive behaviors. It is based on collaborative support for the person supported. This process keeps everyone involved in the person’s plan. It ensures that any attempt to alter behavior must be united with earnest protection of the Person’s constitutional and human rights. This is all to be done with the intention to improve quality of life and minimize the need for more restrictive interventions.
