Children’s Services
Services Overview

We offer a variety of services to children that are Medicaid eligible through the Department of Health and Welfare to assist them in meeting their full potential by developing skills, addressing maladaptive behaviors through the teaching of appropriate replacement behaviors, and collaboration with other professionals. Services include: Behavior intervention and Assessment, Community Based Supports, Respite, Family Education, Interdisciplinary Training, and Crisis Intervention.

Zeus is our very own therapy dog.  Zeus has a big role in our agency providing affection, comfort and love to our participants as well as the staff.

Traditional Model

Individuals from birth through the month of their 21st birthday who are Medicaid eligible may qualify if they have functional and/or behavior needs that require intervention or support services.  These services are provided through Medicaid Developmental Disability Agencies.  

Family-Directed Services Model

Under the Family Directed Services option, families are responsible for hiring their support workers and may be able to use the child’s determined budget for goods and services to help their child meet their full potential. Families can choose to hire a professional Support Broker out of their child’s budget to assist with budget plan writing. Mandatory trainings offered by the Department are required for families that wish to pursue this route.  Children’s Behavioral Intervention and Habilitative Skill services can be accessed while choosing supports through the FDS pathway.  If you choose this route, A & R would be glad to help assist you through the process from providing fully qualified, pre-screened service providers to acting as a liaison during the provider rate negotiation.


Support Services

The ABC Program is a specialized program focusing on Applied Behavior Analysis for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Developmental Disabilities.  Our vision is to assist children ages 3-6 to learn and develop skills to increase independence and to be successful in a traditional school setting. Common skills that are addressed are receptive and expressive communication, socialization and play skills, independence in daily living skills, and school readiness skills such as on-task behaviors and following routines. For more information on our ABC program please contact us at 208-467-1069.

Imagine Pediatric Therapy World is dedicated in providing quality speech, language and feeding therapy to individuals from infancy to young adulthood.  We provide direct, individualized treatment session to meet the needs of every child that walks through our door.  We work collaboratively with families, teachers, Behavior Interventionists, and other service providers to enhance skill acquisition.  Please visit our website at imaginepediatric.com for additional information.

Habilitative Skill helps an individual develop, improve, and maintain skills in areas such as daily living, personal care, and social skills.  The service includes teaching and coordinating methods of training with family members who care for the eligible individual.  This service can be delivered to an individual or in a group.

Intervention services are used to produce positive meaningful changes in behavior that incorporate functional replacement behaviors and reinforcement-based strategies using either evidence-informed practices or evidence-based modalities. Behavior Intervention also includes teaching and coordinating methods of training with family members who care for the eligible child.  

We can provide intervention services in the child’s home, multiple different community settings, as well as our Developmental Center that has specific areas to address sensory, gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, and imaginative play. This service can be delivered to an individual or in a group. Our Behavioral Intervention staff consists of highly trained, well experienced individuals who are creative, innovative, compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly enjoy making a difference in the lives of children and their families.

Intervention services are used to produce positive meaningful changes in behavior that incorporate functional replacement behaviors and reinforcement-based strategies using either evidence-informed practices or evidence-based modalities. Behavior Intervention also includes teaching and coordinating methods of training with family members who care for the eligible child.  

Interdisciplinary Training allows for collaboration and training between the provider of Behavioral Intervention or Habilitative Skill and other professional providers (OT, PT, SLP Medical professional or behavioral/mental health professionals).

Crisis Intervention is available when a child experiences an unanticipated event, circumstance, or life situation that places them at risk for hospitalization, out of home placement, incarceration; or physical harm to self or others.  It includes providing training directly to staff, providing emergency backup intervention, and developing a crisis plan that addresses the behavior occurring and strategies to minimize the behavior and future occurrences.

Community Based Support provides assistance to children with a disability, facilitating independence and integration into the community. This service provides children an opportunity to explore their interests, improve their skills through community participation and integration, and provides opportunities to practice skills learned in other therapeutic and natural environments.  Some of the skill areas that we can focus on include mobility, sensory-motor, personal care, communication, socialization, and leisure activities. Under Community Based Support we are able to develop an individualized schedule that allows us to assist your child in accessing a variety of community sites. Some activities and sites that we can access and participate in are the YMCA, Rec Center, after school activities, sports, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, movies, parks, local businesses, and support in day care centers.

We believe that each moment with a child is a “teaching moment” and plan to utilize Community Based Supports to assist children with disabilities in refining their current skills and developing new skills as the opportunities present themselves. 

A service that provides supervision to a child on an intermittent or short-term basis because of the need for relief of the primary unpaid caregiver.  It may be used on a regular basis or in the case of a family emergency.  However, it cannot be used so that the parent can got to work.  This service can be provided in individual or group settings. We can provide this service in your home or at our center.

This service offers education to the parent/guardians, family members, or other primary caregivers to assist them in gaining a better understanding of their child’s disability, behavior modification, skill building, and intervention techniques specific to their child’s diagnosis. Respite can be utilized at the same time as the parent is receiving Family Education.

There are many topics that can be discussed under Family Education as noted above, and we strive to ensure that we have the most qualified staff to meet the individualized needs of the family.

Case Management is included for individuals accessing 1915i Support Services under the Traditional pathway.  For individuals accessing only State Plan Intervention Services or 1915i Support Services under the Family Directed Option, Case Management is available if the family chooses.  Case Management is provided as a collaborative process that assesses, plans, links, coordinates, monitors, and advocates for options and services required to meet the child and family’s needs.
