“Most of the youth we see at the kidstlc prtf have a history of childhood trauma, abuse or neglect, as well as disrupted attachments. Many are now being raised by foster parents, adoptive parents or grandparents and other relatives. Residential treatment allows kidstlc to reduce destructive behaviors, redirect the attitudes and feelings, which contribute to these behaviors, provide a safe environment and resolve the emotional effects of abuse/neglect. We provide a supportive environment for learning positive ways of interacting with others. Clients learn about the freedom to make choices and to accept responsibility for those choices as well as the ensuing consequences. All of these steps prepare each client for discharge and re-integration into society. Program services are offered to each client through an individualized plan of care, treatment goals and objectives developed in response to the client's needs. The treatment philosophy is based on dyadic developmental psychotherapy (ddp), which is a highly relational model of care that provides an emotionally and physically safe environment in which complexly traumatized children can begin to form attachments with safe and emotionally regulated adults. Family therapy is a key component of the treatment protocol where parents and/or adult care-givers are required to participate. Individual and group therapy for the children is provided with the target of stabilizing them in order to help them return to their home community. Kidstlc initiated intense ddp staff training 9 years ago and in 2019 became the first residential agency in the u.s. To be certified by the dyadic developmental psychotherapy institute. During the tax year, 191 individuals were served for 21,890 days of care. Results include 75% of children reported an increased level of functioning and 92% of parents report being satisfied with services.”

“Kidstlc's autism program offers a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team assessment as well as single specialization assessments to identify each child's needs in the areas of social behavior, language and communication, fine and gross motor functioning, sensory needs and academic and adaptive functioning.

Parents are involved in their child's services by participating in direct training or through observation of their child in the clinic, home or community during their therapy sessions. During 2019, 68 children were served for a total of 63,547 treatment hours. Autism results include: 100% of parents surveyed stated that they either agreed or strongly agreed that they were satisfied with their services at 90- and 100-day marks; 88% of parents stated that they saw a decrease in problem behavior; and 100% stated that their child can demonstrate new skills since beginning treatment.”
