The mission of B*E*T*A: Behavior Education Training Associates is to assist people considered disabled to maximize their participation and involvement in all areas of life. Quite often, we serve those people whose disabilities appear so severe and difficult that they have previously received only minimal assistance. The people we typically serve have, often for years, engaged in behaviors that others find objectionable, and that sometimes result in injury to themselves or others. We believe engagement in behavior that others find objectionable is usually reflective of an individual's ineptness and frustrations due to his/her lack of developed abilities. In turn, absence of important abilities leads to emotional distress and an overall dissatisfaction with life.
