What We Do
Therapeutic Consultation Services - Developmental Disability Waivers (DD)
The Developmental Disability (DD) waivers are offered to both children and adults with various levels of intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. There are a multitude of services and supports offered under each waiver, depending on individualized needs and program criteria met. Therapeutic consultation service through the DD Waiver means professional consultation provided by members of psychology, social work, rehabilitation engineering, behavior analysis/consultation, speech-language pathology therapy, occupational therapy, psychiatry, psychiatric clinical nursing, therapeutic recreation, or physical therapy disciplines that are designed to assist individuals, parents, guardians, family members, and any other providers of support services with implementing the individual support plan. Individuals that currently receive the Virginia Community Living (CL) or the Family and Individual Support (FIS) Waiver can receive therapeutic consultation services.
We provide INDIRECT SERVICES:
Indirect Service means services which include ongoing progress reviews; cooperative planning; consultation; demonstration teaching; modification and adaptation of the environment, curriculum, materials, or equipment; and direct contact with the pupil to monitor and observe. Indirect services may be provided by a related services professional to another regular education, special education teacher, related services professional, paraprofessional, support staff, parents, and public and nonpublic agencies to the extent that the services are written in the client’s ISP.
