Featured FAQ - Frequently Asked Question

Question:

How can antisocial behavior be addressed?

Answer Summary:

For the small number of children and youth who display serious and persistent antisocial behavior, interventions must be comprehensive, initiated as early as possible, sustained, and involve each student's family, peers, teachers, and a variety of service providers and service systems. The key to success for these students is the provision of comprehensive interventions that incorporate coordinated, interagency approaches that are collaborative in nature and individually tailored to each student.
