In-Home Training and Family Support

The primary goal of In-Home Training is to help families when a parent or a child has a developmental disability.  This is accomplished through the use of intensive intervention and support.  Roundup provides staff who work one on one with the family in their home, training family members in the use of proven techniques to modify behaviors and teach new skills.

We help with parenting skills, setting limits and boundaries, money management, functional academics, and self-advocacy.  We help children with behavior management, self-help, social skills, communication, community outreach, and safety skills.  Our program focuses on the strengths of the family to allow children to stay with their family by preventing out of home placement.

What We Do:

• Assess the needs of the family facing developmental disabilities.

• Design individual programs to meet the needs of the family.

• Provide support and training in the family home.

• Coordinate and share programs and data with schools and other service providers.

• Write monthly reviews of the family's progress.

• Refer family members to other resources available in their community.

Role of Families:

• Be present in the home during training sessions.

• Actively participate in training and learn to run programs and analyze effectiveness.

• Offer significant input into the development of programs and the treatment plan.

• Evaluate the usefulness of all resources provided.

Please remember that effective and meaningful change may take several months. With consistency in all aspects of the family's life there is increased opportunity for success.
