Site Based Services
Channel Marker staff work closely with the child, family, therapist, school personnel and other involved community agencies to assess the child’s needs. Through these collaborations, staff develop goals to address areas of need, provide individual attention, coach, model, and teach skills needed to achieve goals, and facilitate opportunities to develop peer support in group settings. Our staff are also very involved in supporting parents to better understand and cope with the behaviors exhibited by the child and connect parents with community resources. Staff meet with children in a variety of settings depending on the child’s need. Some of those settings include but are not limited to; group outings to the park, bowling, movies, ball games, library, school, Channel Marker's after-school and summer day programs and at our Caroline, Dorchester and Talbot county Program Centers.
Community Based Services
Individualized services are provided in the youth’s home, school or community. This is an opportunity for the youth to adapt new skills in a familiar environment. Emphasis is placed on skill development, enhancing self-confidence and establishing a network of natural supports.
