About our Residential Treatment Program
Students at Youth Careparticipate in a level system. The students are rewarded points hourly. Points are given for proper school performance, appropriate social interactions, a good attitude, and compliance with rules. The immediate reinforcement helps students correct poor behaviors. When sufficient points are earned, students will progress and receive privileges as listed below. Parents will receive an update weekly which will include information about their child's current level, school performance, therapy progress, as well as faculty comments.
