Philosophy of Support

Bancroft's philosophy of support is to provide and promote person centered supports and services that are specifically geared to each individual's unique strengths and needs, and encourage greater fulfillment and participation in life.

1. We support individual choices that are achieved through positive supports and compensatory techniques that can vary with levels of independent functioning and self awareness.
2. We embrace families as an integral part of our treatment team.
3. We utilize applied behavior analysis (ABA) as the theoretical foundation and main methodology of our behaviorally and cognitively based, biopsychosocial interventions.
4. We provide outcomes-based therapies, which are supported by data-driven decision models that allow for the development of comprehensive, functionally relevant goals that maximize independent living skills, choice-making and encompass lifelong learning.

Our goal is for each individual to fully participate in community activities, social relationship development, religious, recreational and cultural opportunities throughout a lifetime.

It is through our combined efforts that we will achieve our mission to support those with intellectual and developmental challenges and acquired brain injuries in achieving their life goals while being recognized as valued and respected members of our world.
