Organization Overview
For over 60 years, Benchmark Human Services (Benchmark) has been committed to comprehensively supporting individuals no matter their needs and empowering persons with complex behavioral and medical needs to live in the community. We provide an array of services to over 15,000 children and adults with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and behavioral health needs from infancy to adulthood throughout 17 states and the District of Columbia. Our mission is to help those we serve become more independent, be included in their communities, and reach their full potential.
Benchmark is a national leader offering innovative, cost-effective solutions to address complex challenges and achieve targeted outcomes. In addition to our direct services, we serve states, health plans, and provider organizations through consultation, technical assistance, and customized solutions. Recently, Benchmark developed and implemented the Advancing Crisis Care and Enhancing Support Systems model – or ACCESS – working with providers, family caregivers, and partners to build their capacity to serve individuals with complex needs. The model's targeted outcomes are to reduce reliance on costly, ineffective interventions, divert unnecessary emergency department visits and hospitalizations, prevent placement disruptions, and prioritize person-centered care, and has proven successful in several pilot markets.
