B.C.’s Success!

B.C. is a young man with a traumatic brain injury and other disabilities who is being served through the DD Waiver. When P&A began working with B.C., he was not receiving adequate behavioral supports from his residential agency. B.C. changed agencies shortly thereafter, which involved his moving to a new home. Not long after that, B.C. was forced to move to a second home within the new agency, for reasons that pertained to the agency itself, not to B.C.

Within a few months of this move, B.C.’s residential agency attempted to drop out of B.C.’s interdisciplinary team because of challenging team dynamics among certain team members. But B.C. was doing very well in his current placement, despite these team dynamics. B.C. said that he wanted to stay where he was; he did not want to move again. B.C. had been bounced from one home to another several times recently.

For all of those reasons, P&A advocated strongly and effectively for B.C. to remain in his current home, where he was making progress behaviorally and otherwise. B.C. is continuing to do well in this placement, and his behavioral challenges are being appropriately addressed. The residential agency serving B.C. is generally not known for providing good services to clients with challenging behaviors; however, in this case, B.C. is receiving excellent support overall from the staff who work with him regularly. We are pleasantly surprised and pleased with this outcome.
