Behavior Supports for Individuals with IDD
Supporting Growth, Stability, and Independence Through the Texas Medicaid Waiver Program
Adults and teenagers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) deserve more than maintenance. They deserve meaningful progress. Our Behavior Supports program provides individualized interventions that reduce challenging behaviors, increase communication, and strengthen daily living skills.
Through the Texas Medicaid Waiver program we can partner directly with CLASS, TxHML, and HCS providers. That means services can start quickly often the same day a contract is signed. Reach out to your EHN service coordinator today to request a change in behavior supports.
