System of Care Direct FY24

2024

DIRECT SERVICES: The Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED) will develop an intensive interdisciplinary behavior support pilot program to serve youth with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and/or co-occurring mental health diagnoses. Qualifying youth will have previously accessed state services through the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) and/or Aging and Disability Services Division (ADSD) without demonstrating significant improvement in behavior and/or quality of life. In year 1 of the pilot program, the NCED will develop an interdisciplinary team to provide intensive case management, behavior assessments, interdisciplinary behavior intervention plans, a model for staff training, and data collection and oversight. The fee for this service will range from $6,000 to $11,000 (before travel expenses) per child depending on the intensity of the case and the need for professionals on the interdisciplinary team. The lower level of service will include BCBA consultation with a licensed masters level clinician and will include a functional behavior assessment, behavior intervention plan, staff training, and data management. The higher level of service will include consultation with a doctoral level interdisciplinary team (services outlined in the below table). The project will serve between 5- 15 youth per year, depending on the location of the child and the intensity of needs. All services will occur in the childs home/school environment and team meetings will occur at various DCFS buildings around the state.
