The Institute for Behavior Change is proud to announce that our Executive Director participated in the prestigious biennial Training Institutes conference, sponsored by the Center for Child and Human Development at Georgetown University in July of 2008 in Nashville and in Washington in July of 2010. The conferences focus on developing local Systems of Care for children and adolescents with emotional disturbances and their families to identify "New Directions to Improve Outcomes." You can view the IBC presentations about Utilizing Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS) via Medicaid's EPSDT mandate to provide highly effective, cost-efficient mental health treatment to children in their homes and schools.
IBC co-presented a four-hour workshop on Outcome Data Collection at the 12th Annual Conference on Advancing School Mental Health in Orlando, Florida in October of 2007. In association with treatment outcome analyst Natasha Bowen of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we described our data collection methods to enable others to collect treatment outcome data from service recipients quickly, accurately and easily. We presented an abbreviated version of this program at the 11th annual International Conference of the Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders (ICDL) in McLean, Virginia in November of 2007. A collection of the presentation files, with notes is available from IBC, in .pdf format.
The Institute has provided expert diagnostician and behavioral consultation services to schools located in Philadelphia and the surrounding region, and is available to assist other public and private schools with their student assessment needs, especially Charter schools. We have enjoyed long-term contracts with the Chester County Family Academy Charter School and the Royer-Greaves School for Blind.
