Treatments are tailored to meet the needs of the individual and families. Children and adolescents are offered wraparound interventions in home, school, and other appropriate community-based settings. A team of trained specialists known as Therapeutic Support Staff, Behavioral Specialist Consultants, and/or Mobile Therapists will design, and then assist your family in implementing a highly structured, specialized program. Treatments vary depending on the child's level of need and his or her symptoms. These symptoms combine in many different ways, and can change over time.
