Program Models. State Task Force on Educational Programs for Disruptive Youth.
Maryland Association of Secondary School Principals.; Maryland State Dept. of Education, Baltimore.
This document describes the five types of programs that the Task Force on Educational Programs for Disruptive Youth identified as needed to serve disruptive or potentially disruptive youth. The five are a continuum of alternatives and services for students with problems, human relations and interpersonal training for all segments of the school population, expanded counseling services, a community diagnostic-treatment center, and training programs for teacher specialists. The continuum of services includes an extensive school-based program, a special day school for children for whom an intervention in a special setting seems essential, residential placements in group homes, and a medical facility that may be residential but also provides out-patient therapy and medical intervention. The human relations training focuses on communication and intergroup and intercultural conflict. The expanded counseling services have a tripartite thrust--indirect prevention, direct prevention, and direct remediation. The diagnostic center focuses on early identification of developmental problems due to physical, emotional, or learning difficulties and includes professional and parental cooperation. (Author/IRT)
