The Issachar Project was inaugurated in Phoenix, Arizona on February 21, 2009 when Steven Kossor addressed a group of about 70 people in a meeting sponsored by the Phoenix chapter of the Autism Society of America who had gathered to learn more about the opportunities that exist within the Medicaid system to fund behavioral treatment for children with Autism and other disorders using the EPSDT funding mandate. This presentation was highly praised and explains the treatment model created by Mr. Kossor and how it could be applied in Arizona and other states. Mr. Kossor is available to present this information, customized for any state in the USA. Click here to view a short sample of the Audience Q & Aabout the Issachar Project

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have completed an initial analysis of over 300 "Treatment Plans that Worked" between 2002 and 2007, finding strong support for a link between the implementation of these Plans and improvements in child behavior. Without a Control Group, it is not possible to claim that these Plans caused the improvements in child behavior that were documented, but the data is remarkable nonetheless and clearly calls for further research on the effectiveness of the IBC model for Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS) that we have developed. We are in the process of adding new Treatment Plans that Worked to the database. Notice of the new Plans will be mailed to all subscribers asap (after all client identifying data has been removed).

Latest Research: Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA released the results of their analyses of 887 Treatment Plans implemented by staff of the institute for Behavior Change between 2007 and 2010 on June 28th. They found that over 75% of the Plans were associated with positive changes in child behavior and noted that all plans studied were completed in one year or less. Children with Autism spectrum disorders accounted for more than 500 of the treatment records studied; more than 200 had ADHD as the primary disabling condition. Without a Control Group, it is not possible to claim that these Plans caused the improvements in child behavior that were documented, but the corroboration of previous findings, and the extremely large data base strongly indicates that BHRS is a promising treatment practice for children with ASD, ADHD and other serious behavioral challenges. The research was presented at the prestigious bi-annual meeting of the Training Institutes in Washington… Read more…
