The Montgomery County Board of Developmental Disabilities Services (MCBDDS) provides behavior support services to children and adults. Services are available for children in their residence, while adults can receive services in their residence or day programs. Individuals must be referred to the Behavior Support Program by their MCBDDS Service and Support Administrator.
Behavior Support Specialists may:
- Conduct behavior assessments to determine individuals' behavior support needs
- Analyze data on problematic behaviors
- Develop personalized behavioral interventions
- Train team members on behavior prevention, intervention and crisis management approaches
Behavior Support Specialists work with parents, providers and other primary caregivers of minor children to address behaviors occurring in the home. They work with staff and residential providers of adults to address behaviors in the home and/or at day program sites.
