Clinical Services

Sometimes called Behavioral Health Supports & Services, KenCrest Clinical Services include behavior, sexuality, communication, and other therapies. We create comprehensive plans for each of these areas, provide support to teams, offer education and ensure that the people we support reach their personalized goals. KenCrest clinical services are available to all KenCrest PA adult programs, school districts, families, and any outside residential, day, or employment setting. KenCrest currently offers clinical services in Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
