Rehabilitative and Community Supports (RCS)

Rehabilitative and Community Supports Service(RCS) is a skill building program children with pervasive developmental disorder/autism, or mental retardation. The service focuses primarily on increased skill development and physical development activities, as well as behavior management.

The goal of the service is to keep families together by increasing a child's level of functioning, skill development, and decreasing maladaptive behaviors.

A Behavioral Health Professional(BHP) provides the direct care, one-to-one services.

Each child is assessed by a coordinator. This is followed by a meeting with the family held at the home or at the agency. After discussing the child's assessments and reviewing all services the child and family is receiving, the team develops a quarterly plan of care for the child.

The plan of care includes the child's and family's long and short term goals for a three month period. It also includes the recommended number of hours of service.

During each session, BHP staff works with the child to meet his or her goals and objectives. At the end of each quarter, a progress note is written and a new plan of care is developed.

These services are offered to families with children between the ages of 3 and 20 years old living in Hancock, Piscataquis, Penobscot, and northern Waldo counties.

The staff is available to provide training and support in the home or the community on a regular basis. The staff is trained and supervised by UCP of Maine.
