At the Institute for Effective Behavioral Interventions (IEBI), we provide state of the art behavioral services. A Behavioral Respite Provider will be trained to work with the client on a 1:1 basis. Providers will work at clients’ homes, facility, or their community for 2-8 hours per day, (Graveyard and early morning shifts are available). Service area includes San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Greater Los Angeles Areas (Glendale, Pasadena, Downtown LA, etc).
Behavioral Respite is a service that attempts to give parents or caregivers a break. It involves constant supervision and implementation of behavioral protocols to maintain the health and safety of the clients and others around them. The typical age range of clients span from 8-80 years old and typical diagnosis can include intellectual disability, autism, cerebral palsy, brain injury, dual diagnosis, unspecified disorder, among others. These clients usually show behavioral challenges that prevent them from receiving regular respite services. The clients receiving behavioral respite services might show challenging behaviors such as aggression, self-injurious behavior, elopement, and non-compliance. Behavioral respite providers implement the behavioral plans developed by a BCBA supervisor to prevent and address problem behavior, and to improve the clients' level of independence (e.g., improve self-help skills). It is critical that Behavioral Respite Providers reliably provide the scheduled hours and give advanced notice if they are not attending a session since these clients cannot be left alone. Most of the clients receiving behavioral respite are adolescents and adults whose caregivers cannot provide all the supervision they require on a daily/weekly basis.
We are looking for energetic and motivating providers who want to make a difference in their careers and in their clients’ lives!
