Children > Behavior Modification

The premise of Behavior Modification is that alterations in behavior occur when positive behavior is rewarded and negative behavior is reprimanded. Therefore, our program is based on a basic level system in which children earn additional privileges guided by their behavior during hospitalization. Conversely, additional privileges are removed when children display negative and oppositional behavior.

Specifically, children will have the ability to move forward and backward across three levels depending on their choices and the consequences related to those choices. Children will be appropriately held accountable for their behavior by the multi-disciplinary treatment team. The level system is directly related to a child's treatment plan and his or her engagement in treatment. Children enter the unit on the highest level and can either stay at that level or move to a lower level depending on his or her behavior.
