Behavioral Support Services

Professional-level services that assist individuals with significant, intensive, and challenging behaviors that interfere with activities of daily living, social interaction, work or similar situations.  Individuals with both intellectual and psychiatric disabilities possess a higher risk for maladaptive behaviors. These individuals have a myriad of complicating factors that make it difficult for them to express their emotions at times. In order to meet the needs of these individuals, systematic behavioral management techniques can be implemented in their environment. Evidence-based treatment approaches have been proven effective for individuals experiencing an emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric disorder. Among these approaches, clinicians have used behavioral support plans. Behavior support plans are developed to reduce inappropriate behaviors and to teach adaptive skills.
