PROGRAMS & SERVICES:

DAY TREATMENT
   Our on-site staff provides supervision, skill development, crisis intervention and behavior management. Students are referred to the Day Treatment Program from area schools or a Juvenile Court Officer. Young House staff provides ongoing classroom monitoring and crisis intervention, including redirection and progressive intervention. All staff are trained in non-violent crisis intervention using the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) Model.

SCHOOL PROGRAM
   Our School Program follows the schedule of the Ottumwa School Calendar and the academic material is provided through the Ottumwa School District and AEA. It is staffed with instructors employed by the Ottumwa School District and Young House personnel to provide behavior intervention and academic assistance. Students are referred to the School Program by area schools and AEA. Students in the School Program have been displayed behaviors that either endangered themselves or other students, destruction of property, or extremely disruptive in the school setting to where it interfered with the learning process of other students in their school.

REMEDIAL SERVICES
   Medicaid-funded Remedial Services address behaviors like aggressiveness, poor communication or poor social skills' that can impact your child's success in school, at home and in their community. The goal of Remedial Services is to help kids learn good communication and social skills so that they can be more successful in life. Individual and Family counseling are available to Medicaid-eligible students in the Day Treatment and School Programs.
