Behavioral Analysts Services provides support to individuals with behaviors that can create solutions for them to be active in their community or live at home, where disruptive or
destructive behaviors hinder these opportunities. Utilizing a Behavioral Analyst, an individualized, comprehensive plan can be created to support the individual, family, and those working with the individual so that they may gain and use skills that allow them to be more independent.

Systematic Skill Building (SSB) is a service designed to support individuals in acquiring skills that promote their independence and their participation in their community.

Supported Employment &
Supported Living Coaching
Supportive Employment provides a variety of supports including vocational assessments, job finding, job coaching, and extended supportive employment utilizing a person centered approach. This approach keeps the individual at the forefront of decision making regarding their life. Employment not only allows an individual to be included within the community but also feel a sense of purpose and accomplishment.
​
Our Supported Living Services provides people with IDD an opportunity to work towards becoming independent while living in their own homes in the community. The Supported Living Coaches and Personal Support Staff work together to provide services based on each Individual’s unique need. They work together with the client to develop and implement a plan geared toward their individualized goals. Supported Living Services promotes, teaches and encourages Individuals to live a healthy and meaningful lifestyle and to maximize their individual abilities while living as independently as possible.
​
Treasure Coast Healthcare Specialists' life skills coaches will encourage, prompt and support the individual to obtain their goals that include activities of daily living (ADL). ADLs are person centered and include anything that is important to them in living a more productive, healthy and independent life.

Personal Supports, Companion & Respite
Personal Supports, Companion and Respite services assists individuals in gaining skills necessary to living within their home and community.
Personal Supports services provide assistance and training to an adult (21 or older) individual receiving services in activities of daily living, including the areas of eating, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and preparation of meals.
​
Companion is a service that is typically routine and regular. For example, it could be a Monday-Friday thing to provide “down-time” supervision after getting home from day activities and until natural supports get home from work. Or it could be a routine Saturday or Sunday thing to allow natural supports to do things that the person receiving supports either cannot or does not want to do or to allow a dedicated time for another family member such as siblings, sporting events, or special time.
​
Respite on the other hand, provides a break or by definition, “relief” for a natural support caregiver. This is for non-routine needs that happen in everyone’s life. Some examples might be when a caregiver is attending a special event, taking a needed vacation, or tending to acute health issues that take them out of the daily routine.
Weekly Oversight and Mentorship
Weekly Oversight and Mentorship from a Registered Nurse with Clinical Experience: Treasure Coast Healthcare Specialists was founded by a RN and Healthcare Administrator whose passion is helping individuals achieve their goals and live with independence. Each individual receives weekly visits from the CEO/RN to consult with the individual, family and staff on goal specific objectives to optimizing progress towards goals and build personal relationships. There is also access to other clinical backgrounds through a professional network that allows other disciplines (OT, SLP, BS, RN) to provide strategies and guidance in areas of need.
