Behavioral Supports
What do Behavioral Supports Programs do?
People with intellectual disabilities may have behavioral health needs and through behavioral supports they receive the treatment and supports needed throughout their lifespans. When individuals, families, and providers plan and modify supports as people’s needs change to meet these challenges, people are more able to live an everyday life.
Opportunities for a full community life are dependent on adequate supports and the commitment to build capacity within the larger human service delivery system. This is done through an especially valuable practice to build skill in people, and those that support them to enable them to live a fulfilling life.
