Services
Support for individuals, families, and organizations across disability, employment, community life, and professional practice.
Branches of Life offers a mix of direct services, community-based supports, and professional development. Some services are funded through Medicaid waivers or DARS, and others are available through private pay or contracts. This page is designed to help you quickly find the service that fits what you’re looking for.

- Those working on independence, communication, social skills, or confidence
Key features

Behavior support that looks beyond the behavior. We work to understand what a person is experiencing in their nervous system, their environment, and their relationships— and we redesign supports so life actually gets easier for the person and the people around them.
Who it’s for
- Waiver-funded Therapeutic Consultation – Behavior referrals
- Families and teams supporting people with complex needs
- Providers who value collaboration, dignity, and contextual-fit
What’s different about our approach
- A collaborative PBSF + BCBA team — not siloed providers
- Focus on context, nervous system cues, and real-life environments — not just charts
- Plans that work in real homes, schools, programs, and communities
- More focus on adding skills rather than forcing behavior change

Not sure which service fits your situation?
That’s completely normal. Many people come to us with overlapping questions—community access, benefits, behavior support, training, or supervision challenges. We can talk it through with you and point you toward the best match (or combination of services) based on your goals.
No pressure — just a chance to talk through what you’re looking for.
