Clinical Services
At KenCrest, the Clinical Department supports intellectually disabled, autistic adults, and students K-12 by conducting assessments to create a comprehensive treatment plan for behavior, sexuality, communication, and additional therapies. We offer services in the community at jobs, programs, schools, volunteer settings, or during community participation supports (CPS). We also provide home services in any KenCrest residential environment, homes owned or operated by external, residential agencies, and family or individually-owned homes.
Clinical Services are available within Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania.

Our Trauma-Informed Relational-Theory-based Behavioral Support Professionals offer an updated, best-practice approach to take a holistic view of the needs of clients, families, and teams.
- Using a trauma-informed and team-centered approach, we develop treatment plans that offer step-by-step interventions for ease of implementation to clients, families, staff, and other team members.
- We create a desensitization plan for overwhelming routines, including doctor’s appointments or hygiene tasks using trauma-informed practices and consent.
- We recommend alternative therapies, and treatment modalities, including medical follow-ups.
- Work collaboratively with a psychiatrist to support mental and behavioral health concerns and offer feedback on the effectiveness of psychotropic medications. We value the minimization of psychotropic drugs whenever possible.
