Services are provided by the faculty, staff, and students from the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Munroe-Meyer Institute who are specially trained in behavioral psychology and adult IDD services.

Unless individual therapy is warranted, the patient and the caregivers attend the session. During the first session, the patient and caregivers are interviewed to determine the nature of the issue and a potential course of treatment. Additional sessions are usually scheduled weekly or every other week. The number of sessions depends on the nature and severity of the issue.

Parents and caregivers are considered a vital part of therapy and are often heavily involved in treatment recommendations. Depending on the treatment goals, much of the time in session may be spent consulting with parents and caregivers on how to best support the client in making the emotional, social, and behavioral changes that are desired.
