Intensive Behavioral Health Individual Services (IBHS)
Looking for an effective way to provide clinical interventions for a child or adolescent with behavioral needs?
Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) are designed for children and adolescents up to age 21 who have a behavioral health diagnosis. IBHS provides intensive therapeutic support within the child’s natural environment.
An Individualized Approach to Behavioral Support
IBHS individual services provide personalized treatment in a familiar setting with the goals of:
-
Promoting independence
-
Decreasing problem behaviors
-
Increasing positive social interactions
Services include:
Mobile Therapist
The MT provides individual therapy with the child as well as family treatment or therapy with other caregivers in home or school settings.
Behavior Consultant
The BC designs and directs the implementation of the treatment plan, monitors treatment provided by the BHT and ensures the delivery of quality services.
Behavioral Health Technician
The BHT provides one-on-one behavioral intervention in school, home, or community settings.
How IBHS Makes an Impact
Throughout IBHS, the treatment team collaborates to empower individuals and their families with skills and expertise that promote independence and reduce problem behaviors.
Clinicians collect and analyze data to create a behavior plan that is specific to your child's needs. The tailored goals and objectives are routinely reviewed for success, measured by:
• Increases in pro-social behavior
• Improvements in positive self-management skills
• Reductions in out-of-home placements
• Improvement in caregiver skills to help stabilize the home environment and initiate constructive, long term change
Getting Started With IBHS
Following an initial assessment, Behavior Consultants and Mobile Therapists develop an individualized treatment plan based on your child's unique needs.
Services may take place:
-
At home
-
In school
-
In community settings
