Laraway hires Behavior Consultant

            Laraway hired Melissa Deppisch as a Behavior Consultant. Deppisch possesses a Master’s Degree in Psychology and Applied Behavioral Analysis. She will work with the agency’s Backpack Program which provides public school based behavioral intervention supports.  Deppisch, whose areas of expertise include autism, will assess individual student needs and design interventions to build skills and promote independence.
“I’m really excited by the potential that exists here at Laraway,” Deppisch says. “Laraway is not only filled with people who know about that they do. They really care about what they do.”
Laraway responds to the needs of at-risk kids and their families by offering innovative, strength-based services through alternative education, therapeutic foster care, and public school based support programs.
