Indiana Bureau of Disabilities Services announced a public comment period for proposed amendments to the Family Supports Waiver (FSW), Community Integration and Habilitation Waiver (CIH), Health and Wellness Waiver (H&W), and the Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver (TBI) last week. Public comment gives an opportunity to share thoughts and concerns around the proposed changes.

It was a pleasure to welcome representatives from the University of Indianapolis Music Therapy Program to the Statehouse this week!

Their work highlights the power of music as a tool for healing, connection and growth within our communities.

Indiana is fortunate to have programs like this preparing the next generation of compassionate professionals.

Happiest of birthdays to one of BST’s longest standing clients! We can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with some BK onion rings and a Diet Coke!

The holidays are all about traditions. This guy and his behavior consultant do a walking Christmas light tour at a local botanical garden every year to work on sensory and social skills. The tradition is so important to them that a little bit of rain wasn’t going to stop them. They even had the whole place to themselves; the only downside was there wasn’t anyone to ask to take their picture. 😀

We had a holly jolly time at our annual Christmas party last evening! There were truly some amazing ugly sweaters, tasty Christmas cookies, and lots of Christmas music bingo winners. Needless to say the Christmas spirit was flowing while we were working on our skills! Thanks for everyone who attended!

The Best Sound in Town and The League of Leles had a blast at our annual holiday program last night! Our individuals, interns, and clinicians work hard all year to prepare for these performances, and while it’s amazing to see how they improve musically, it’s even more exciting to see the ways individuals continue to improve in their communication skills, social interaction, and attention to task, as well as the ways they form and build friendships with each other. Thank you to all who tuned into the live stream or came out to cheer on our performers! 🎶🎄
