Intellectual/Developmental Disability (IDD) Waiver Crisis Intervention provides immediate therapeutic intervention on a 24-hour basis to address personal, social, and/or behavioral problems which threaten the health and safety of the individuals and/or others within his/her current living arrangement.
Services are provided using three modes:
- Individual's home
- Alternate residential setting
- Individual's usual day setting
IDD Waiver Crisis Support Services are provided in an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) for Individuals with IDD and are used when a person's behavior or family/primary caregiver situation becomes such that there is a need for immediate specialized services. Crisis Intervention and/or Behavior Support Services are not pre-requisites for Crisis Support Services.
IDD Waiver Behavior Support and Intervention Services provide systematic behavior assessment, behavior support plan development, consultation, restructuring of the environment, training for individuals whose maladaptive behaviors are significantly disrupting their progress in habilitation, self-direction or community integration, and/or movement to a more restrictive setting if necessary. These services also include consultation and training provided to families and staff working with the individual. The desired outcome of the service is long-term behavioral change.
Counseling Services provide individual and group therapy to address personal, social, and/or behavioral problems utilizing evidenced based practices, treatment plans, and progress tracking.
