Open a Community School or Part-Time Center

Our Community School and Part-Time Center Model empowers both existing organizations and professionals interested in starting their own schools or therapy centers to bring the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care (IWBMC™) into their settings. By focusing on education and practical implementation, we provide the support needed to deliver personalized IWBMC™ care for clients in a variety of environments.

Best Practices in IWBMC™ Implementation: Access guidelines that support effective delivery of our unique care model, emphasizing high standards in client care.
Digital Platform and Activity Database: License the AHAVA digital platform for evaluation, program design, intervention database, caseload management, and data tracking. International licensing coming soon!
Training and Certification: Access to our training and certification platform for providers and evaluators.
Clinical and Technical Support: Gain the advantage of remote or on-site coaching from a Jacob’s Ladder staff to further enhance your IWBMC™ care delivery and AHAVA usage.

Our 5-Step Process for Building a Community School or Therapy Center:

Community School or Part-Time Center Set Up: Learn more about the AHAVA digital platform, allowing your center to implement the IWBMC™ model as your foundation for exceptional care.
Initial Comprehensive Evaluation, qEEG, Nutritional Consult, Program Design, and Parent Overview: Schedule Initial Evaluations for your first set of clients. This can be completed at the Flagship Campus in Roswell, GA, or a Jacob’s Ladder Evaluator can travel to your location.
Provider and Evaluator Training & Certification in the IWBMC™: Schedule trainings for your Provider(s) and Evaluator(s) at the Ascend Training Institute in Roswell, GA, and schedule your exams. Certification is provided through the National Council for Board Certification (NCBC).
Program Implementation and Clinical Coaching: Receive client-specific training on your client’s individualized programs and subscribe to AHAVA to begin program implementation. For the first year, receive a minimum of 10 hours of AHAVA Technical Support and 12 hours of Clinical Coaching. Ongoing coaching and consulting are also available.
Ongoing Maintenance and Support: Maintain your IWBMC™ Certification by completing your client’s Annual Re-Evaluation process alongside the Jacob’s Ladder Team, participating in Continued Education Courses, and receiving annual WBLMS updates.

Incorporate the Model into Your Existing Program

Our community outreach model enables existing programs, such as schools, church programs, or clinic settings, to offer the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care® (IWBMC™) in their programs by training staff in the global therapeutic model and evaluating individual or whole classrooms of students. Jacob’s Ladder will use the AHAVA digital platform to provide strategies and customized plans for specific, unmet needs. Through telehealth technology, Jacob’s Ladder, in partnership with the designated organization, can also evaluate and monitor educational programs from our flagship location in Roswell, GA. This opportunity allows the student to remain in their current environment while Jacob’s Ladder offers support, individualized programs, and student-specific strategies.

Individual Families

Community of Care (CoC) caseload management support allows the Jacob’s Ladder team to supervise the implementation of the IWBMC™ anywhere in the world, serving as the individual’s full- or part-time school. Jacob’s Ladder assists with identifying and training a designated provider and provides continued oversight for optimal implementation, reporting, and updating therapeutic programs to align with the client’s progress. Providers can obtain certification in the IWBMC™ and access the AHAVA software to complete the individual’s daily programming.

Families receive continuous support, including ongoing training, programmatic updates, and annual re-evaluations. To support multiple individuals in a single location, Jacob’s Ladder provides insight into implementing the IWBMC™ with small groups of clients through our Community School Model.
