Developmental
Disabilities Program for the Denver, Colorado Area
Through our Developmental Disabilities Program
in the Denver, Colorado area youth
with developmental disabilities can be empowered to become active
participants in community programs. It only takes some simple changes --
in facilities, activities, and attitudes -- to make opportunities for
positive youth development accessible to everyone.
Life Support Behavioral Institute, Inc. works with
children with developmental disabilities, their families, and other
support services in the Greater Denver, Colorado area to provide the following
 | Provide interventions designed and overseen
directly by qualified, well-trained professional behavior analysts |
| Provide detailed assessment of each skill as well
as learner and family preferences to determine initial treatment
goals |
| Selection of goals that are meaningful for the
learner and the family |
| Ongoing objective measurement of learner progress |
| Frequent review of progress data by the behavior
analyst so that goals and procedures can be "fine tuned"
as needed |
| Instruction on developmentally appropriate goals in
all skill areas (e.g., communication, social, self-care, play and
leisure, motor, and academic skills) |
| Skills broken down into small parts or steps that
are manageable for the learner, and taught from simple (such as
imitating single sounds) to complex (e.g., carrying on
conversations) |
| An emphasis on skills that will enable learners to
be independent and successful in both the short and the long run |
| Use of multiple behavior analytic procedures --
both adult-directed and learner-initiated - to promote learning in a
variety of ways |
| Many opportunities - specifically planned and
naturally occurring -- for each learner to acquire and practice
skills every day, in structured and unstructured situations |
| Intervention provided consistently for many hours
each week |
| Abundant positive reinforcement for useful skills
and socially appropriate behaviors |
| An emphasis on positive social interactions, and on
making learning fun |
| No reinforcement for behaviors that are harmful or
prevent learning |
| Use of techniques to help trained skills carry over
to various places, people, and times and to enable learners to
acquire new skills in a variety of settings |
| Parent training so family members can teach and
support skills during typical family activities |
| Regular meetings between family members and program |
Nearly 4 million Americans have developmental
disabilities that impact their ability to participate in everyday
community activities. For youth with developmental
disabilities in the Denver, Colorado area, that
often translates into many fewer opportunities to build the skills and
self-confidence that all young people need to succeed and thrive into
adulthood. But it doesn't have to be that way.
