Behavior Management and Skills Development Services are designed to match children and teens
with trained adults who provide 1:1 behavioral assistance
in their home, school, and/or community and teach a variety of
life skills to promote success. Parents are provided tools and
support for more effective parenting.
BMS
is designed
to serve
children
in the
least restrictive
environment
possible
and may
be utilized
to transition
children
from higher
levels
of
care to
their
home, school,
and community;
making
it
possible
for children
to maintain
in the
least restrictive
educational
setting
with their
peers;
and
to prevent
the need
for inpatient
psychiatric
hospitalization
or other
out of
home placement. BMS
may be
provided
in the
child's
home, classroom,
or in
a
community
setting
with the
times
and places
determined
by the
child
and family's
need.
Most often
these
children
are at
imminent
risk of
separation
from their
families
or school
setting
due to
the seriousness
of their
behavioral
problems.
