Residential Services

Croyle-Nielsen Therapeutic Associates offers a residential program with the same uncompromising insistence on quality that characterizes all our services. Positive behavioral approaches and therapeutic philosophies guide all levels of the program.

Residents who stay with C-NTA will be supported by staff members who have been selected on the basis of professional ability and personal character. All of our homes are beautiful and comfortable and have been personally selected and decorated by the owners of C-NTA. “It is so important to us that our homes are places that we would be happy to call home ourselves. That is why we personally take the time to make sure that they are just as nice as our own home” – Amy Nielsen, C-NTA President

Our Interim Residential Program Director, Merissa Sandusky, can be reached at 814-266-2244

Behavior Support Services

Our services are person-centered, responsive, adaptive, effective, and of the very highest quality. The program has three main pillars:

  • Customization: Every client is different, and we make sure we develop a program best suited to each individual’s needs. Assessments, tools, and customized support strategies are all part of what makes our services so effective in quickly correcting behavior problems in adults with I.D.

  • Direct support approach: Our staff meets one with one with the client and provides a centralized experience. We meet with the treatment providers and family to review the BSP plan.

  • Tool Creation: We develop intervention programs to help individuals follow a routine to change modify behaviors.

Community Participation Support Services

These services enable adults with intellectual disabilities to participate more fully in community activities – such as groups, associations, clubs, and volunteer opportunities – thus increasing independence, self-esteem, and skills. Specific goals include:

  • Increasing potential for employment

  • Learning to navigate the community using public and private transportation

  • Identifying and participating in activities that are fulfilling and provide a sense of responsibility

  • Developing and maintaining relationships and social networks
