Behavior Support
Azure provides clinical and therapeutic services that foster adaptive behaviors for individuals with intellectualvelopmental disabilities. The clinical focus of our service is the development and monitoring of individualized Behavior Support Plans (BSPs), which provide a framework for individuals’ annual goals. The BSP also allows the clinical staff to track an individual’s progress as well as it provides evidence of individual independence, skill building, and increased inclusion in the community.
Azure’s clinical team creates, implements, and monitors the plans in order to track individuals’ identified behaviors, behavioral interventions provided by direct care professional staff, and to identify the need for interventions as warranted by the data collected and analyzed. We utilize the services of a Board Certified Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, a Registered Nurse, other Masters’ level clinical staffers, and trained direct care professional staff.
