 What
Do DDT&TS Services Look Like?
DDT&TS OUTREACH SERVICES
Consultations for Individuals
- We come to your community to provide services.
- Each consultation is about a week of observation and meetings with local team
members.
- We directly observe the person served and we provide training to
family members and local staff.
- At the end of the week we have a meeting and go over our recommendations for
improving or maintaining support strategies.
- We leave printed copies of all recommendations.
- We provide follow-up for up to six months after the consultation. This
includes data collection, regular telephone calls, and on-site
visits.
When a DDT&TS Outreach team comes to your community we work with your
CDDO and local service providers to
help families and local staff identify and make the most effective use of local
resources.
Training for Community Agency Personnel
- We come to your community to provide training.
- Training on behavior support strategies and dual diagnosis can
be customized to fit your agency’s needs.
