The program provides positive behavioral interventions and supports in a compassionate, trauma sensitive treatment environment. The continuum of care begins with a comprehensive, functional behavioral assessment of the individual, followed by intensive, clinical services for a period of several months on the Devereux League City campus, and concludes with discharge and after-care service planning. Our team of professionals includes a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA), clinician, child psychiatrist, special education teacher, nurses, speech language therapist, residential unit supervisor, and direct care providers.
