About Us
Creative Consulting Solutions provides Behavior Support Consultation (BSC) services on the Developmental Disability Waiver Program through New Mexico’s Department of Health’s Developmental Disabilities Supports Division (DDSD).
We also create lifelong learning tools to address various skill development. We often address skill development through games or other creative ventures to promote positive opportunities for learning.
​
BSCs conduct assessments, create plans, and train providers in order to better support an individual’s skill development and challenging behaviors. BSC services identify distracting, disruptive, and/or destructive behaviors which impact one’s health and safety, and quality of life. Behavior Support Consultants work with individuals and their teams to reduce behaviors that interfere with quality of life, health and safety, and the pursuit of ISP Outcomes.
BSC services are provided in the individual’s home, day program, place of employment, the community, or a combination of these locations depending on need and services. We do not have offices so there is no traveling involved. We come to you!
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
