The Signs are a unique method to better manage individuals with psychiatric conditions, particularly in patients with intellectual disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorder. The status quo at other healthcare facilities are to treat symptoms, not to address the root cause of behavior. 

THE SIGNS are designed to approach each patient as an iceberg. The observable behaviors and symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg. These include:

T: Targeted Behaviors

H: High Risk Behaviors

E: Emergent Behaviors

The cause of those behaviors are what lie below the water…

S: Symptoms

I: Intake

G: Global Functioning

N: Neuropsychiatric Rule Out

S: Stressors
