Program Development
Beginning in 2007, partnering Regional Centers and Kavere Services Inc. shared a mission to serve developmentally disabled children converged on development of a specialized residential setting. The primary purpose is to keep children in a stable longterm living arrangement in which the child will learn, acquire, retain and expand critical life skills, develop coping skills, and discover his or her talents on the journey to realizing maximum potential.
Program Description
Kavere Services operates Crisis and Stepdown Children’s Residential programs located in the Northern California region, specifically Stockton, Fairfield, and Pittsburg. Each program has been individually licensed with The Department of Social Services and vendored through respective Regional Centers to serve children with developmental disabilities. Kavere Services has partnered with Valley Mountain Regional Center, North Bay Regional Center, and Regional Center of the East Bay to provide a unique system of care designed specifically to serve children who have achieved only marginal stability in the family home or previous placements.
Kavere Services Inc. core treatment imperatives:
• active listeners
• encourage dialogue
• understanding the child’s :
- family needs/supports
- communication methods
- learning style and routines
- interests and individual preferences
Through use of these techniques, a customized child
centered service plan will be developed. Another
aspect of our service is our awareness that the “bar of
excellence” is always moving forward. To keep pace,
we stay current with emerging treatment trends while
synthesizing feedback from the planning team and
others to advance our service delivery.
Our service model is designed for frequent progress
review, while maintaining a focal-point on skills
expansion and behavior reduction. Clinical treatment
and assessment is accomplished through the
collaborative efforts of the child’s parent(s), facility
administrator, direct support staff, University of the
Pacific (UOP) behavioral services, Regional Center
representatives, and (as needed) Psychiatrist or
Recreation Therapist.
