Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) was traditionally known as wraparound services (and more recently BHRS) because support is offered in multiple settings, including home, school, and/or community. Behavioral health support is available for children and need is based on medical necessity.

IBHS-ABA services can help individuals diagnosed with Autism and other behavioral disorders by offering an individualized plan and a team who will help work on targeted goals to improve the quality of life for the individual and their families.

What Will Services Look Like?

A Licensed Professional will perform a comprehensive assessment including direct observation, reviewing background information of the individual client, and interviews with the client’s caregivers. If services are deemed medically necessary, recommendations will be made. The team usually consists of a Behavioral Consultant (BC), who will perform a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)/Skills Assessment to pinpoint the function of a behavior and any skill deficits that should be addressed and will develop a comprehensive treatment plan for the client.

A Behavioral Health Technician (BHT) will work individually with the client and their family in one or more settings (home, school, and/or community), and will implement the Treatment Plan created by the BC. The BC will oversee the work of the BHT to ensure compliance with the treatment plan.

Services are generally offered on a weekly basis, depending on medical necessity.
