Sweet Behavior is a small company located in Jeffersonville, Indiana. We currently provide music therapy, behavior supports, recreational therapy, and other community supports for children and adults with developmental disabilities in 40 counties in southern Indiana. We serve folks on both the Family Supports Waiver (FSW) and the Community Integration Habilitation (CIH) Waiver.
Because of our size, we are able to explore innovative approaches to our work that larger companies cannot. Although we are considered little compared to other providers, the experience of our employees is far from miniscule. Our employees have an average of fifteen years of experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities.
One of the areas that Sweet Behavior is focusing on as it grows is serving our rural communities in Indiana. We've been in this business a long time and have heard for years about how waiver services just aren't available in some counties. This is unacceptable.
Most of our staff members grew up in small towns and understand not being able to have the resources that were available in the bigger cities. We can't imagine how it feels to be a person with a disability (or have a loved one with a disability), finally get a waiver, and then not being able to access any services. This is the reality for a lot of Hoosiers with disabilities at the moment.
So, how are we going to get services in these rural counties? Step one was finding a satellite office. Sweet Behavior opened its first outpost in August of 2019 located at 530 Main Street in beautiful Ferdinand, Indiana. Our office is in the historic J. Herman Building.
Step two is where our community comes in. We need good folks who are willing to commit to serving the underserved people with disabilities in the rural counties of southern Indiana. Please spread word that we are currently looking for music therapists, recreational therapists, and behavior consultants to serve these areas. This is the chance for folks to make a true, lasting impact on others' lives. In the words of JFK: "One person can make a difference, everyone should try."
