School-Based Services interventions are rooted in principles of trauma-informed care and brain science. Program goals are to stop inappropriate behavior, assist students to learn different coping strategies, and improve students’ ability to self-regulate.
Specialized interventions utilize an evidence-based treatment framework to help students overcome trauma and transition to the least restrictive educational setting possible. The close collaboration between Laurel Life and school professionals in coordinating service delivery helps to improve fidelity of interventions.
Parents play an important role in the assessment and intervention process, and success of school-based services depends upon parent input, involvement, and support. Laurel Life appreciates the opportunity to serve you and your child, and we look forward to partnering with you in providing the necessary and most appropriate treatment interventions.
