Behavioral Supports (W7095) and Individual Supports (W7060)
AHS Trauma Informed Care Guided Community Supports
Arc Human Services' specialized level of supports and services were developed to support persons with IDD and who also struggle with significant and complex mental health disorders. We recognize that many of those have also experienced substantial trauma or adverse experiences that continue to impact them. These individuals often are diagnosed with or are presenting features found in Axis II mental health disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). They are among the most challenging dually-diagnosed persons supported by our IDD and MH systems.
Our program offers very detailed structured supports for persons who have not been successful in traditional IDD programs. These plans are diagnostically driven and are grounded in strong clinical and therapeutic principles. We believe that respect for the individuals we care for includes extensive specialized training, plan development and guidance for the family and team members.
AHS utilizes the most effective format of a team driven set of supports, enabling each person to find safety in knowing they are doing the best they can do in that moment.
Arc Human Services Behavior Support key components and features are:
Arc Human Services provides an array of services, including Behavioral Supports Consultant Services (W7095), Individualized Community Supports (W7060), Clinical and Program Development Consultation and Training and Skill Building Services.
We are able to provide any or all of these services and will work with you to tailor the supports to what works best.

Arc Human Services Behavior Support key components and features are:
- Establishing a team driven structure for the identified person(s). We all work together as a team.
- The individual receiving our services and the team members working at the site are the person’s team. The person guides the team, but all decisions are a team decision. They will place the highest value on the power of communicating openly though an on-going dialogue.
- Outcome goals are developed by the team. Together, they will determine what “success” means for the person being supported.
- All team members should understand and be able to make Trauma Informed Care principles part of their core competencies.
- A Personal Health and Safety Plan (SEEP) along with a Behavior Support Plan (BSP) are developed to provide structure and guidance required by the individual. Supplementary specialized supports will fit into the structure of a Personal Health and Safety Plan, i.e. SEEP, Crisis Planning, Counseling, etc.
- Additional support for the individual come from the Clinical and Supervisory/Administrative members of Arc Human Services, who support the Behavior Specialist Consultant (BSC) and Individualized Supports Staff. They provide clinical supervision, guidance, mentoring and leadership as well as ensure the individual’s and team’s needs are properly processed.
