Behavioral Health in Today's World

Referral Information & Process

Initial Contact

any parent/guardian, school district, therapist, or agency serving an individual with behavioral needs may contact Avrick Behavioral Health Services for consultative services. 

Completion of Referral Information

Following initial contact with Avrick Behavioral Health Services, a referral packet will be sent, or can be downloaded from our website, to the referring contact person. The referral packet should be completed as soon as possible and returned with as much of the following additional information as possible:
a. A copy of the current IP and/or IEP;
b. Any previous evaluations/reports/discharge summaries (e.g., psychological, education and medical);
c. Any available baseline data, incident reports or progress notes.

Behavior Analyst Assignment

The assigned Behavior Analyst will contact the service coordinator to confirm behavioral support hours available and discuss expectations, needs, and available services. Once hours are confirmed and it is determined that services are appropriate, the Behavior Analyst will make contact with the caregiver/family to schedule the initial meeting.

Prioritization

On occasion, a priority will be given to a more severe situation; however, all individuals referred to Avrick BHS are important and an attempt will be made to provide service as quickly as possible for ALL referrals. 

Response Time

Once all referral information is received by Avrick Behavioral Health Services, it will be reviewed, and a response will be provided regarding availability of services within 1 week. It is likely that individuals who are accepted for services with Avrick BHS will be seen within 30 days; however, situations may arise that affect timing, but this will be communicated by the assigned BCBA to the individual and provider.  
*Please remember that Avrick Behavioral Health Services is NOT a crisis response team*
