Maya Edwards: Specialized Residential Care

Explanatory Fiction

Maya Edwards is an 8-year-old girl who lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She lives with her fathers, Blake and Jeff, who have resided in Colorado Springs for 11 years. They moved to Colorado Springs to specifically live at the Congregation of the Sun, which is a unique place as it is an intentional community centered around providing wrap-around behavioral and mental health services for troubled youth. She was born in a lower-income family situation that devolved into neglect which ultimately led to the state obtaining custody of her for maltreatment. Her biological parents are not involved outside of stating they want to be around for major holidays and events. This is where you come in, you’re the resident BCBA who is in charge of intake and analysis at the Congregation of the Sun. You oversee approximately a dozen treatment teams, each with their own BCaBA leading their respective team… we start with you rolling up to the community, and you notice it has just about everything that you could imagine, a store, dining options, a school, and next thing you know, you roll up to Mr. and Mr. Edwards’ house where you knock on the door to be greeted by both Blake and Jeffrey.
