Behavioral Consultants
Behavioral Consultation services are available to all registered child care providers. Each of West Virginia’s resource and referral agencies employs a Behavioral Consultant to serve the child care centers, facilities, and home providers in their region.

- All services are confidential and free of charge.
- Assistance is offered in many forms, including: phone conversations, written information, site visits, and face to face discussion – whatever you are most comfortable with.
