Interventions take place in inpatient, <br />transitional, and home-or-community-based settings, and include structured <br />activities which target reduction of speck symptoms or enhancement of specific <br />functional skills; education which proactively addresses personal health <br />maintenance skills, prevention, health promotion, and reduction of health risk <br />factors; and guided participatory experiences which address psychosocial health <br />and quality of life. <br />In addition to psychiatric, psychological, and recreational therapy services, XDS <br />delivers the fallowing wide array of necessary, specific services through a <br />combination of staff and contracted professionals and paraprofessionals: <br />• Supported independent housing. <br />• Entitlement /benefits management (payeeship). <br />• Supported employment. <br />• Contract and clinical collaboration to provide Alternative family living, <br />supervised group housing, and individual day supports. <br />Each of these services meets nationally recognized definitions or standards that <br />guide successful service delivery and outcomes. <br />XDS Inc. <br />Cross Disability Services.
