Bancroft Rehabilitation Services is a subsidiary of Bancroft NeuroHealth, established to provide specialty services.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) theory and techniques are used to treat individuals with developmental disabilities and other neurological impairments who present severe problem behaviors such as self-injury, aggression, property destruction and non-compliance. An interdisciplinary approach is also used to address all facets of need for those served. Access to a pediatrician, pediatric psychiatrist, neurologist, neuropsychologist, nursing, special education, speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy is available as needed by each individual.
Regular contact with families is also assured. The program requires participation in grand rounds either through meeting attendance or phone contacts with families before and after rounds meetings. Family input is incorporated, as appropriate, into the areas of care affecting their child. The social worker assists in accessing other resources if the needs of the family are outside Bancroft's areas of service.
Outcomes
The Lindens has successfully assisted children and youth to decrease problem
behaviors to an extent that allows them to move to less restrictive settings
such as their family home, schools, community residential settings and the
like. Clinical measures are used to identify objectively the cause of problem
behaviors, and to use that data to identify effective interventions. Staff
at discharge sites are trained on treatment interventions and the Lindens
remains a resource to them when appropriate.
