Nova Home Support, LLC

Nova Home Support, LLC (www.novahomesupport.com) provides around-the-clock residential care, person-centered support, individualized education, and community-based enrichment opportunities to a sweet, funny teenager with autism, severe mental illness, medical/ADL needs, and significant behavioral challenges. Funded by the California Department of Developmental Services, the program was launched in 2016 to provide the client with a safe, therapeutic environment in close proximity to his family. Prior to its creation, the client was rejected by every licensed community care facility in the state, and as a result, spent several years in highly restrictive out-of-state facilities. This specialized program has enabled the client to resume his education, participate in community-based activities, and visit with his family several times a week. Support is provided in the community and in a private home designed to meet the client's unique and evolving needs. The program is grounded in principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and adjustments to the behavior intervention plan are made frequently based on data collected by a team of professional staff dedicated to providing the client with the best possible quality of life.
