Every child is unique. Special needs children are no different. Services are planned to meet the individual needs of the child, rather than to fit the child into existing service. Services consider the child’s family and community context, are developmentally appropriate and child-specific, and also build on the strengths of the child and family to meet the mental health, social, developmental and physical needs of the child. Services at TCLC Mississippi Behavior Clinic recognize that the family is the primary support system of the child.  TCLC Mississippi Behavior Clinic’s Program is designed to provide children with emotional and behavioral needs with intensive treatment, advocacy, service coordination and support in their home and community. Treatment services are delivered to the family, child, and other critical individuals in the child’s life by members of the Program staff, which will include all or some of the following individuals: Behavior Specialist Consultant (BSC), Senior Support Specialist (SSS), and Community Support Specialist (Community Support Specialist).  Community Support Specialist professionals are responsible for implementing behavioral treatment plans developed by the Behavior Specialist Consultant and the Senior Support Specialist. The Clinic Director provides individual and group clinical supervision to program staff, including Community Support Specialist, Senior Support Specialists and Behavioral Specialist.

TCLC Mississippi Behavior Clinic practices an intensive supervision model. Our Intensive Program provides highly individualized programming for students beyond the treatment capabilities of other placements. We specialize in treatment and educational services for students with autism, behavior disorders, and severely challenging behaviors such as intense aggression, property destruction, and noncompliance.

Individuals may receive intensive behavioral instruction with systematically planned opportunities for integration with typical peers. The curriculum emphasizes basic learning, communication, social, self-help, and academic skills, with specific generalization training.

Our curriculum is designed to meet each student's particular needs in multiple areas. Students participate in a full school day and a full school year. Our goal is to prepare students for the transition to public schools.
