How can I learn the best ways to help my child who is having problems with social skills, behavior, or communication?

SCDD Description

Educates parents and others on how to implement a behavior plan so they can reinforce what the child is learning from behavior specialists.

DDS Description

This service code can no longer be used unless the Department approves an exemption.

A regional center shall classify a vendor as a Client/Parent Support/Behavior Intervention provider if the vendor provides behavior intervention services to include the use of behavior intervention programs, development of programs to improve the recipient's development, behavior tracking and analysis, and the fading of any intrusive intervention measures. The intervention programs will be restricted to generally accepted positive approaches. Program services ages 4 years to 18 years (or those 3 years or younger deemed high risk for developmental delay). This program is not funded by the Dept. of Education because children and families will be served on an individual basis. However, the child's special education program will not be discontinued or altered.

Example

Your child has a therapist working with them who uses an Applied Behavior Analysis or Floortime approach. You want to learn what they are doing so that you can work with your child on the same skills when the therapist or behaviorist is not there.
