Behavioral Support Services
Assessment, consultation, behavior-plan development and implementation support shaped around the person’s behavioral, psychological, social and emotional needs.
Person-centered services for children, transition-age youth, adults and older adults—at home and throughout the community.

Purple Haven supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities from childhood through older adulthood. We begin with each person’s goals, strengths, communication, daily routines and vision for a meaningful life.
Services are coordinated with the individual, family, Coordinator of Community Services, support team and other authorized partners. Waiver-funded services must match the person’s approved plan and authorization, and availability depends on staffing and current capacity.

Planned servicePurple Haven does not determine DDA or Autism Waiver eligibility, funding, service hours or authorization. Those decisions belong to the applicable Maryland program and planning team. Contact us to discuss current capacity for a specific service and county.
A good visit often begins in a familiar place. A support professional can share an interest, build daily-living skills, encourage independence or help with an agreed routine.
The individual and people they trust help us understand what works so that time together has purpose and feels natural.
A library visit, recreation, volunteering or another agreed outing can create room to explore interests, build skills and connect with the community.
Locations, timing, support needs and any transportation are planned with the individual and authorized team in advance. School pickup or travel in a worker’s car is offered only when available and properly arranged.
Caregivers need time to rest and take care of everyday life. Respite creates that space while the person receives planned support at home or at agreed community locations.
We discuss the schedule, activities and handoff so everyone knows what to expect.
