Welcome to Bees Knees!
Welcome to our hive! Thank you for
choosing Bees Knees, LLC!
Bees Knees provides home-based respite,

The Bees Knees Hive
Bees Knees is a family owned and operated
business, started by myself and my husband.
These are some names of individuals you will
need to know for future reference:
Laura and Mickey Kawa- Owners
Cal Littlefield- Attendant Care Supervisor
The Buzz About Laura
I have an education degree from Arizona State University and am a
former teacher in the Gilbert District. After having my beautiful
son- now 7 years old- I decided to stop teaching so that I could
dedicate more time at home with my son.
Shortly after, I was offered an amazing opportunity to run a respite
and habilitation program for a local therapy company. I built this
program from the ground up and developed a love for helping
individuals with special needs find quality providers to work with
them and help them grow.
After working for this company for about 3 years, my husband and I
decided to follow this passion, and apply for our own contract with
the Division of Developmental Disabilities.
So here we are today, with our own contract and a flourishing
business to continue our passion of helping individuals with special
needs.
The Buzz About Mickey
My husband, Mickey, has an education degree from Arizona State
University and is currently teaching high school in Queen Creek.
Prior to teaching in Queen Creek, Mickey taught middle school to atrisk students in Glendale. He was then offered the position of Clinic
Director for a local therapy company. Mickey managed all of the
therapists, providers, and clients at this company, as well as
managing the day to day office operations. There, Mickey had a
chance to experience the joy of watching individuals with special
needs grow and learn in a safe and rewarding environment.
At this same time, I was running the respite and habilitation
program for this same company, and Mickey and I decided that it
was time to build our own agency. He has been teaching at Queen
Creek High School ever since, while starting our agency.
The Buzz About Cal
Cal has a degree in Mass Communication from New Mexico State
University. He is a proud father of two daughters (myself included
) and a grandfather of 6 amazing children.
He is a retired Director in Mesa, Arizona for the Boy Scouts of
America, where he worked for 30 years. There, he had the chance to
work with many individuals, including individuals with special
needs.
He is now thrilled to be working as the Attendant Care Supervisor
for Bees Knees.

Who Are The Clients?
Bees Knees provides services for individuals with
special needs through the State Department of
Economic Security, Division of Developmental
Disabilities.
We work with clients who are approved for respite,
habilitation, and attendant care services through
the State.
The State offers these services to our clients, and
together, with the State, we work to find a good
match for each individual.
Who Are The Clients?
Our clients are developmentally delayed in some
way, due to a chronic disability which is
attributable to:
•
•
•
•
Cognitive Disability
Cerebral Palsy
Epilepsy
Autism
Cognitive Disability
According to AAIDD (American Association on
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) a
cognitive or “intellectual disability is a disability
characterized by significant limitations both in
intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior
as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical
adaptive skills. This disability originates before
the age of 18.”
Common Characteristics of a
Cognitive Disability
• significantly below-average score on a test of mental ability or
intelligence
• limitations in the ability to function in areas of daily life, such as
communication, self-care, and getting along in social situations and
school activities
• Individuals with a cognitive disability develop more slowly than
those with average intelligence and adaptive skills
• Degrees of cognitive disabilities range from mild to profound
• Individuals with a cognitive disability may have other disabilities as
well, such as cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, vision impairment,
hearing loss, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Cognitive disabilities are sometimes referred to as intellectual
disabilities or mental retardation although mental retardation is no
longer the preferred term
www.cdc.gov
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is related to a brain
injury or to problems with brain growth.
It causes problems that affect body
movement and posture. The part of the
brain that is damaged determines the
parts of the body that are affected.
Conditions That Can Occur with
Cerebral Palsy
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reflex movements that a person cannot control
Muscle tightness that may affect parts or all of the body
Cognitive Disability
Seizures
Vision Problems
Hearing Problems
These problems can range from mild to severe.
Epilepsy
“Epilepsy is a neurological condition that from time to
time produces brief disturbances in the normal electrical
functions of the brain.”
www.epilepsyfoundation.org
Normal brain patterns of a person with epilepsy may be
interrupted by intermittent bursts of electrical energy
affecting a person’s consciousness, bodily movements, or
sensations for a short time, resulting in epileptic
seizures. Having a single seizure, does not necessarily
mean that a person has epilepsy.
What Causes Epilepsy?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Often, no cause can be found for epilepsy. Some
causes may include:
Head injuries or lack of oxygen during birth
Brain tumors
Genetic conditions
Lead poisoning
Problems in brain development before birth
Infections such as meningitis or encephalitis
Who Does Epilepsy Affect?
• Epilepsy occurs in all racial, ethnic, and
socioeconomic groups
• Epilepsy affects people of all ages
(commonly occurs during early childhood
and adolescence. Another common time
of occurrence is in people over the age of
65.)
• Epilepsy can also occur in animals
Autism
Autism is the most common condition in
a group of developmental disabilities
know as the Autism Spectrum Disorders
(ASD’s).
Common Characteristics of
Autism
• Impaired Social Interaction
• Problems with verbal and non-verbal communication
• Unusual repetitive, or severely limited activities,
behaviors, and interests
• Many people with ASD’s have unusual ways of learning,
paying attention, or reacting to different sensations.
• Thinking and learning abilities can vary from gifted to
severely challenged.
• Begins at the age of 3 and lasts through the person’s life.
(ASD’s can be detected as early as 18 months)
• Occurs in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups
Who Is Affected?
• ASD’s occur in all racial, ethnic, and
socioeconomic groups
• ASD’s are four times more likely to occur in boys
than in girls
• According to 2007 data collected by CDC’s
Autism and Developmental Disabilities
Monitoring (ADDM) Network, about 1 in 150 8year-old children in multiple areas of the United
States had an ASD
Other ADS’s

Department of Economic Security (DES) provided that they meet
the following criteria:
•
•
•
•

– Economic self-sufficiency: being able to financially

Eligibility with a Potential
Developmental Disability
Children under the age of six years old may be
eligible for support and services if there is a
strongly demonstrated potential he/she has or
will have a developmental disability.
Any child from birth to age 6 who has a
developmental delay, or who has an established
condition which has a high probability of
resulting in a developmental delay as defined by
the State, may be eligible.
Support Planning
Since all individuals and families are
different, services and support are based
on the person’s needs, and in some cases,
availability of funding.
All services and support are designed and
delivered to meet the individual needs of
the person and their family.
How Are Needs Determined?
Needs are determined through assessments and
evaluations. Decisions about what services and support
the person receives are based on a team process. The
team will help determine what services, as well as the
amount of service time that a client needs. The team
consists of:
•
•
•
•
The Individual
The Family
The Support Coordinator
Could also include others, such as therapists and other
providers involved in the life of the individual
What is a Support Coordinator?
The Support Coordinator is assigned to the client by the
State, to work with the parents and help assess the
needs of the client. Together, along with the ISP
(Individual Support Plan) team, they determine what
services are needed and how often. This is achieved
through the ISP process. The Support Coordinator then
authorizes the services and sends out referrals, or service
inquiries, to different therapy companies to find services
for their clients.
You will need to know who the Support Coordinator is
for each of your clients. You will need to write in their
name on your timesheets for your clients.
ISP- Individual Support Plan
Our clients have an ISP (Individual Support
Plan) or an IFSP if under the age of 3
(Individualized Family Service Plan). This is a
document that includes all pertinent information
about the client and their needs. This plan also:
• Reviews assessments and evaluations
• Identifies natural supports
• Assists in defining what additional support or
services may be needed to enhance the person’s
abilities
What does the ISP mean to me?
The Individual Support Plan will let you know about your
client. It will tell you about their needs, goals, things
that work for them and things that don’t, as well as all
pertinent general information regarding the client and
family. This is imperative for you to better understand
the needs of your client. You will have a copy of an ISP
for each of your clients. You can refer to the ISP for direct
instructions regarding respite, habilitation, and attendant
care needs.
If you are providing habilitation, you will need to
review the outcomes as defined in the ISP to record
your objectives with the client. These will be reported
to the DDD quarterly. (This process is explained in
detail in the Habilitation training section.)
