 | Individuals interested in applying for any of our services may request an application via email or by calling directly to speak with someone. We invite and encourage you to speak to us directly by telephone if you have questions or just want to get a better idea of who we really are. After an application review, an SBS staff member will contact you to discuss the applicant's needs in greater detail, and provide you with an initial indication of whether our services are appropriate for the applicant's needs. If our services are a potential fit, then we will schedule an introductory meeting during which we can elaborate further on the specific nature of our services, our philosophy, and the qualifications of our staff. SBS has four comprehensive assessments corresponding to each of our service delivery areas: independent living, vocational, socialization, and therapeutic. Through family interviews, gathering of collateral information from other service providers, and comprehensive direct observation of the individual's functioning, SBS will evaluate the client's strengths and areas in need of further development. At the conclusion of the assessment process SBS staff will hold a discovery meeting with the family. During this meeting, SBS will present and interpret the results of the assessment, along with providing treatment recommendations and a proposed service plan. |
