THERAPEUTIC BEHAVIOR SERVICES
Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) is a short-term supplemental service offered in coordination with other mental health services. It helps in decreasing behavior or symptoms that are jeopardizing a child’s current living situation or by assisting in a planned transition to a lower level of placement. TBS helps the child learn new adaptive behaviors and skills to replace dysfunctional or dangerous ones, is cognitive-behavioral based, and is delivered in the child’s every day living environment.

The TBS treatment components include a 30-day assessment to determine if services are appropriate and deliverable; the development of a specific behavior change plan; therapeutic services authorized for a period of 30 to 120 days beyond the assessment period; therapeutic interventions that occur in locations where children experience the greatest problems; and a fade-out or transition plan to consolidate therapeutic gains.
