This monitoring is done by a team of professionals including a prescribing physician or psychologist, a case manager, school personnel if indicated, and other significant adults and caretakers identified by the team.
Parents are always central and included in the treatment team.
Treatment usually begins with daily interventions which become less frequent as needed. Services are designed to phase out as skills are developed to maintain the desired treatment outcomes. Treatment takes place in the home, school and community as defined by the team. An assigned therapist and support staff member are responsible for providing treatment under the supervision of a behavioral specialist consultant, in conjunction with the prescribing physician or psychologist. As treatment comes to an end, the team is available for consultation.
