Welcome to CRC Behavioral Consulting!

Behavior Consultation also known as Therapeutic Consultation Service (TC), is provided through the Virginia Medicaid Waiver program.  At CRC we provide behavioral services that  are rendered by a Licensed Board Certified Behavior Analysts. 

We conduct functional behavior assessments, develop functional based interventions, and provide behavioral training. LBA’s also collaborate with the client, and the client’s team to design measurable goals to decrease challenging behaviors across settings. Therapeutic consultation services are provided in person, and virtually in the client’s home, community, workplace, and day support.

Submit a completed referral form to a CRC Behavior Analyst. The Behavior Analyst will review the referral and determine if the client's needs are appropriate for the behavioral service. The Behavior Analyst will submit a request a justification of service  to the support coordinator/ case manager for state approval. Behavioral Services will not start until a service authorization is approved from the Virginia Department of Waiver Services.  

The Behavior Analyst will review the records and determine if the client's needs are appropriate for behavioral service. The Behavior Analyst will  interview the client, and all service providers to identify the behaviors of interest, review history of behaviors, discuss situations in which behavior occurs and  how often they occur. A data collection form is given for caregivers to take baseline data in multiple environments. 

Once data has been captured minimally 10 days by caregivers, and behavior analyst has conducted  in- person observations, A behavior intervention plan or behavior protocol will be created. An initial training will be scheduled with all caregivers and consent to implement plan will be obtained. An updated data sheet is also provided if need be. Frequency of behavior analyst visits are determined at the time of the initial behavior intervention training.

Behavior Analyst will follow up with plan implementation based on the needs of the client, and client providers. Behavior Analyst are always systematically making changes to the behavior intervention plan as needed based on data collection. Behavior Consultation services are continued until behaviors are significantly lower than baseline levels.
