Behavior Support Services

Our goal is to help children and adults with developmental disabilities achieve their best possible social and emotional health. Using a unique team approach, we ensure quality services for our patients, their families and caregivers.

Support and Services Include

• Professional behavior consultants meet with each patient for an in-depth assessment of his or her strengths and needs.
• Behavior consultants then develop a positive behavior support plan for each patient. Plans focus on improving mood and developing better relationships with others.
• Consultants meet weekly with our consulting psychologist and psychiatrist to report patients’ progress and discuss additional needs.
• We train staff and family to use the behavior plan.
• Our consultants provide individual counseling to patients and ongoing consultation to families and caregivers.
• We strive to replace difficult behaviors through training in assertiveness, stress reduction, problem-solving, anger management, impulse control and social skills.
• Medical professions provide regular medication reviews and diagnostic services.
• Human Rights Committee review of behavior plans and medication.
• Sources of Funding
  • Medicaid Waiver
  • Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services
  • Private Pay
