Children’s Intensive Respite

AccessCNY’s new Intensive Children’s Respite home provides enhanced site-based support for kids ages 5-17. The home provides a safe and private place for kids with high behavioral needs to receive support and respite. Serving up to 4 kids at a time, our Crystal House respite home features individual bedrooms, sensory play areas and shared living spaces. The highly trained staff includes Licensed Behavior Analysts, Behavior Intervention Specialists and Youth Specialist that implement the child’s behavior plan.

Guests at Crystal House include children being discharged from Upstate Children’s Hospital’s Biobehavioral Health Unit (BBHU) as well as children in the community with behavioral health needs. While at Crystal House, the child and their caregivers receive outpatient support from Upstate for several hours a day to help the child strengthen skills that support a successful transition home.
