Changing Tides Family Services offers specialized services to children and adults who have a developmental disability and behavior challenges as well. Respite Plus and Skills Acquisition are more intensive and structured services to address the needs of families who have limited access to respite services due to the chronic behavioral challenges of their adult/minor children. These services are designed to empower clients and their families to improve their skills in the areas of communication and daily living needs by using positive behavior supports. The goal of the programs are to reduce family stress and the need for long term, intensive behavioral services or residential placement. Clients must be referred by Redwood Coast Regional Center (707-445-0893).

For more information, call (707) 444-8293 or 1 (800) 795-3554. The administration for these services is located at 2379 Myrtle Avenue Eureka, CA 95501.
