Staff work with clients on age appropriate education regarding
medications they are receiving, individualized service planning, group
social skills, individual and group therapy and community
reintegration. Individual therapy takes place twice a month for each
child and focuses on personal issues, school issues, family issues and
other concerns. Group therapy consists of anger management, peer

and goal setting. Activities for the Day Treatment program may include

monthly progress reports mailed to the guardians. Parent support
services are available to all parents interested in increasing family
awareness and acceptance of their child's disability as well as in
ways to adapt and cope with conflict. |
