Behavioral Support Services are an array of services to assist people who, without such support, are experiencing, or are likely to experience, difficulty at home or in the community as a result of behavioral, social, or emotional issues. These services seek to help understand a person’schallenging behavior, and its function is to develop a Behavior Plan with the primary aim of enhancing the person’s independence and inclusion in their community.
Assistive technology is an item, piece of equipment, or product which is used to maintain or improve a person’s functional abilities, enhance their interactions, support meaningful relationships, and promote their ability to live independently and with meaningful participation in their community. When a person has a need for assistive technology Providence will facilitate obtaining and utilizing the necessary item(s).
An environmental assessment is an on-site assessment with the person supported at his or her primary residence, to determine if environmental modifications or assistive technology may be necessary in their home. When a person has a need for an environmental assessment and/or modification, Providence will facilitate that assessment and the implementation of necessary modifications.
