Help for Children and Adults with Emotional Disturbance
At Roman Empire Agency, we help people with emotional challenges live better lives. Since 2010, we’ve offered special services to clients aged 1.5 and older and their families in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Washington, Hawaii, Tennessee, and Florida. We work with groups like Regional Centers, Santa Clara Family, and Anthem to ensure that our caring support for emotional health and independence is available to everyone.
What is Emotional Disturbance?
Emotional disturbance means someone has significant problems with their feelings, actions, or mental health that make it hard to do daily things. This can include trouble with anxiety, sadness, mood swings, or behaviors that cause problems in relationships, school, work, or being part of the community. Emotional disturbances can look different in kids and adults, from being very quiet to acting on sudden urges.
At Roman Empire Agency, we know that everyone has different needs. Our goal is to give personal support that helps people become emotionally stronger, learn valuable skills, and find a stable and positive path for themselves and their families.

How We Help with Emotional Disturbance
Our team of skilled professionals, who speak many languages and understand different cultures, offers a variety of proven services to help with emotional disturbances. We focus on creating safe, supportive places—often in your home or community—to help people learn how to handle their feelings and develop life skills.

By making our programs fit each person’s needs, we aim to build emotional strength and practical skills for a more independent and fulfilling life.
Our services include:
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) & Behavior Modification: This uses proven methods to help with difficult behaviors, improve how people control their emotions, and make social skills better.
- Adaptive Skills Training (AST): This teaches practical skills like managing stress, communicating, and solving problems for everyday life.
- Independent Living Skills Training (ILS): This helps people learn how to manage money or take care of themselves, which builds confidence and independence.
- Supported Living Services (SLS): This provides guidance for safe housing and integration into the community, creating a stable living situation.
- Self-Determination: This encourages people to set their own goals and take control of their emotional well-being and life journey.
- Employment Support and Training: This offers job coaching and skill-building to help people find meaningful work.
- SSI/Medi-Cal Assistance: This helps people get financial and healthcare support for their ongoing care.
