The At-Home Crisis Intervention/Behavior Training Program is available to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families residing in the borough of Queens. The program supports individuals living at home who have developmental disabilities, including Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and other developmental disabilities that may be accompanied by behavioral challenges.
The program provides in-home training and behavior support for individuals who may be at risk of psychiatric disturbances or maladaptive behaviors that affect daily functioning. Working directly with individuals and their caregivers, the program emphasizes proactive strategies that help reduce challenging behaviors, strengthen adaptive skills, and promote greater independence at home, in the community, and during everyday activities.
