further information for anyone looking for behavioral intervention...

[Guest guest]

Sorry...I could not get the tables to print out...

Below (after the table) is the link to the SST's. The acronym SST means

Service Support Teams. These are the behavioral intervention teams that handle

challenging behaviors for people with developmental disabilities is community

services. Home Based Support Services programs are included in this. However,

upon its inception, children were not included. Children are to be included in

the second phase of this program. I'm just not sure when that second phase

begins. I believe that the SST program has been in existence for about a year.

So this may be helpful. If not, I think that behavioral services would be

covered under the waiver as a form of therapy. But a quick check of the

manual suggests that it is not covered under the waiver.

This link explains the SST program.
