Mission Statement

The mission of the Home and Community Services (H&CS) program is to provide high-quality behavioral health and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to children, adolescents, and their families.

An Overview

Home & Community Services assists clients in increasing socially appropriate behaviors that will maximize their potential, facilitate independence and self-advocacy, and promote healthy functional relationships. We utilize evidence-based behavioral management practices, specialized instruction design, and the natural support systems available in the home, school, and community.

Home and Community Services provides services to clients via behavioral heath rehabilitative services (BHRS), specialized instruction, and behavioral health personal care assistant services (BHPCA). Many of our consultants and staff have degrees or certifications in Applied Behavioral Analysis, Special Education, Counseling Psychology, and related fields. Staff are highly motivated and dedicated professionals with extensive experience in autism and other developmental disorders.

Home and Community Services does not ascribe to only one form of intervention. Clients are viewed holistically and general ABA principles are followed. The goal of Home and Community Services is to assess each client’s individual needs. Treatment and specialized programming are designed based on the client’s individual needs and are updated on an ongoing basis or as needed. Treatment is provided in the client's home, school, or community setting using a team approach, which includes parents, clinical staff, community supports and educators, etc.
