Abstract
Philosophies, strategies, and implementation of treatment
services for children are constantly changing to make improvements.
There is no one perfect solution to eliminate the crises of children.
There are many schools of thought on the methods of behavior
modification programs. Each agency or institution implements the
program which it feels will be of the most benefit to its clients.
There are pros and cons to each program. The agency will have to
then make changes and modify the behavior modification program to
fit its own needs. Should a child need to be placed in an institution
or residential facility, placement should be determined upon the
needs of the child. Ideally the child will reap as many benefits of
treatment as possible in a minimal amount of time. It begins to
become a disservice rather than a service when a child spends years
in an institutional setting. There are numerous programs in the
United States designed to help children with their problems. Some
of these agencies have been in existence for many years. The idea of
removing children from unhealthy environments is not new. Helping
improve children's lives through professional care has been occurring
for well over 100 years. Although there are thousands of children in
treatment programs, there are thousands more in harmful living
situations who need help.
