C stands for
Communication

The cost of waiting
Every month without the right support is a month your child doesn't get back.
Lost developmental ground
Communication, daily-living, and behavioral skills compound. Months without targeted habilitative work become years of catch-up later.
Families carry it alone
Without a credentialed agency in the picture, parents end up acting as therapist, advocate, scheduler, and crisis responder, often all at once.
Children deserve better
Idaho funds these services for a reason. Your child is entitled to a real plan run by qualified people. Going without isn't a budget choice, it's a system failure.
What CRT actually stands for
Communication. Respect. Trust.
Not an acronym we wrote on the wall. The standard every interaction is measured against, from the first call to the last session.
R
R stands for
Respect
Your child is not a case file. Your family is not a problem to be managed. Every plan starts with who your child already is and what your family already knows.
T
T stands for
Trust
Idaho DDA certified. Every staff member cleared through Idaho criminal history. Documented service plans. The same person who answers your first call is the person who follows through.

The guide
You don't need another agency. You need someone who has done this work from every chair in the room.
Charity Grubbs founded CRT after years inside Idaho's developmental disabilities system: as a Habilitative Interventionist at Alliance Family Services, as a Clinical Supervisor, and as a DDA Administrator. She has written the service plans, supervised the staff, and answered the family calls at 8pm.
That is the standard CRT is run to. Every regional office, every Habilitative Interventionist, every individualized plan: built on the same three commitments she has worked to since the beginning. Communication. Respect. Trust.

Services
What we actually do, in plain language.
Every service is individualized. No two plans are the same because no two children are the same.
01
Habilitative Intervention
One-on-one skill-building delivered by credentialed Habilitative Interventionists, focused on the daily-life skills that move your child toward independence.
02
Individualized Service Plans
Written goals built around your specific child, reviewed on a regular schedule, adjusted as progress happens. You are part of every revision.
03
Behavioral Health Support
Strategies that address the why behind a behavior, not just the surface. Documented, measurable, and shared with the school and home team.
04
Family Support Programs
Parents and caregivers get the language, the techniques, and the documentation to carry skill-building beyond session hours.
05
Community-Based Services
Services delivered in the home, school, and community where the skills actually need to work, not just in a clinic room.
06
Care Coordination
A single point of contact across providers, schools, and Idaho DDA. We chase the paperwork so you don't have to.
Seven regions, one organization
Local relationships. Statewide standards.
CRT serves families across all 7 regions of Idaho through regional offices that know their communities, their schools, and their districts. Same certification. Same standards. Same three values.
