Behavioral Services

Our Behavioral Services consist of our Behavior Intervention Program and our Intensive Behavioral Services.

• Our Behavior Intervention Program provides in-home behavioral and parenting support services to people residing with their families.

  This includes adults, children and parents with developmental disabilities. Collaborative in-home evaluations are completed to assess the behaviors present and develop a family-centered plan. The BIS and Technician partner with the family to train and work on a plan to provide these supports in a familiar setting where the person feels secure. The goal is to implement successful techniques that manage or eliminate behaviors completely.

• Intensive Behavioral Services (IBS) provides behavioral support to those residing in non-certified settings or Family Care Homes, who are waiver enrolled and who present with challenging behaviors.
  Prior authorization from the local DDRO is required before a referral can be made. Collaborative in-home evaluations are completed to assess the behaviors present, conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment and develop a Behavior Support Plan. The service is time-limited for a period of up to 180 calendar days. The services include up to 25 hours of in-home service after the plan has been developed.
