In-Home Behavioral Support (IHBS)

In Home Behavioral Services are specialized, intensive services and treatments that are driven by the family’s goals. Individualized behavior support plans are created after extensive observations, comprehensive assessments, and functional behavior assessments. Services are provided through the Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI) funded through Mass Health.

In-Home Therapy (IHT)

The In-Home Therapy program is designed to provide behavioral health services to families and children in order to improve functioning and prevent the need for other more restrictive levels of care. This service is available to members of the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership, Beacon Health Strategies, and Tufts Health Public Plans. 

Therapeutic Mentoring (TM)

The Therapeutic Mentoring program provides support to children at risk for other more restrictive levels of care by supporting the treatment plan of In Home Therapy, Intensive Care Coordination, or Outpatient Therapy. This service is available to members of the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership and Tufts Health Public Plans.

Outpatient Services

Northeast Family Services Clinic provides a range of diagnostic and treatment services on an outpatient basis. Outpatient therapy is provided to adults, youth, couples and families for a variety of presenting concerns. 

Medication Management

During an evaluation, our practitioners will take the time to understand your concerns and what types of symptoms are bothersome. After the initial assessment, the practitioners will walk you through a treatment plan designed with your needs in mind. If medication is indicated, our practitioner will then walk you through the medication’s effects, potential side-effects, usage, and course of treatment.​

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

ABA is an evidenced-based approach to understanding and changing behavior. By determining the function of behaviors, a behavior analyst identifies ways to modify the home environment and teach new skills to improve an individual’s health and safety, ability to communicate, and family relationships.

​

The Applied Behavior Analysis Program serves individuals across Massachusetts between the ages of 3 and 22 who carry an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. Our services consist of behavioral skills assessments, functional behavior assessments, direct services provided by a Behavior Technician, supervision of direct services by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and consultation and training provided to families and caregivers.

Our services focus on addressing the core diagnostic criteria associated with an ASD diagnosis, specifically increasing communication skills, teaching social skills, and decreasing challenging behavior. Additionally, our staff work to help clients grow their skills in the areas of activities of daily living, self-care and personal hygiene, play and leisure skills, safety skills, tolerance skills, and community integration skills. 

​

We use the principles of ABA, or applied behavior analysis, to effect meaningful changes in behavior through the analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation of environmental factors. Core components to the use of ABA include direct observation, measurement, and functional assessment of the relationship between behavior and the environment. We use the information gathered through these methods to alter specific variables within the environment to produce helpful changes in behavior.

​

 Social Skills Groups: In addition to our individualized direct services, we proudly offer a variety of telehealth social skills groups! These groups use commonalities among clients to provide important social skill instruction and promote skill acquisition and generalization. Please see below for our current social skills group offerings!
