ICTS Intensive School Based Programs
The Intensive School Based Program provides a specialized and individualized set of in-home and community based mental health services that are delivered in the most normal and least restrictive setting, the child¹s home and at a public school.
This program offers an integrated treatment and education program geared towards elementary aged children, ages 6-12 who have severe mental, emotional and behavioral disorders and who have been identified through a level of need determination process as needing this level of care.
Individual therapy, group therapy and an individualized academic program are provided at three locations; one each in the Bethel, Springfield, and Eugene 4j School Districts. Families receive a full array of medically appropriate services as identified in their Individual Service and Support Plan, including but not limited to crisis prevention and intervention, care coordination, case management, individual, group and family therapy, psychiatric services, skills training, family support services, Child and Family Team treatment and service coordination planning.
The Child Center's Intensive School Based Program provides services to whose primary handicapping condition, at the time of admission, is diagnosed to be severe mental, emotional and behavioral disorder as determined by an individualized comprehensive assessment.
All children accepted into the Intensive School Based Program have or will meet the following criteria:
- Difficulty maintaining behaviors in a regular classroom setting
- A CGAS of less than 40 and a CASII of level 5
- Experienced a significant disruption in level of functioning for at least a year
- Open medical card for duration of services
- Demonstrated need for higher level of care than ICTS Outpatient Unit
Both boys and girls are equally eligible. Family participation and adult services are a crucial component of the overall treatment program. Families are regarded as equal team members and services are developed on the strengths of the family directed at achieving functioning successful in the home, school and community. The Child Center service area is considered to be primarily Lane County, although children and families from nearby counties are sometimes admitted if the transportation problems can be adequately solved.
The Child Center’s Intensive Community Based Treatment Services (ICTS) Outpatient Unit provides intensive therapeutic and behavioral support to children and their families who are residents of Lane County.
We serve children ages 3 to 18 who are having difficulty functioning in their home, school and/or community settings due to a variety of life circumstances, traumatic events or emotional disorders.
Treatment services use wraparound processes to create a Child and Family Team that directs treatment and provide individualized care for each child in order to achieve positive outcomes.
Children appropriate for this level of service will:
- Generally have demonstrated a lack of response to less intensive interventions.
- Often have multi-system involvement
- Have a CASII of level 5 or above with a CGAS below 40
- Must have a medical card open for duration of service
The ICTS unit provides a wide variety of intensive therapeutic services including psychiatric, care coordination, and behavior support services in the child’s community (i.e. home, school, etc)
Referrals can only be made by the child’s legal guardian. Services are dependent on having and maintaining a medical card and are contingent upon approval of funding by Lane Care. |
