Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health combines evidence-based interventions with compassionate family engagement to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across all stages of life. We are committed to implementing multi-tiered systems of behavioral and academic support, including Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) across our treatment network.

“Devereux Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports” (D-PBIS) is a trauma-informed framework that combines several initiatives under one umbrella to create a seamless, multi-layered system of support for individuals across all Devereux programs. D-PBIS promotes a positive, proactive approach for teaching skills in a variety of safe and supportive environments. Typically, the referring agency and school representatives (where indicated) work with families to determine the most appropriate level of care for an individual.

We serve children, adolescents and adults across the country. Individuals and families who are not located near our service areas are encouraged to contact us for more information.
