On Campus: Systemic/Behavioral Interventions for Behaviorally Disordered Adolescents

Abstract

This paper describes systemic/behavioral intervention strategies employed in a behavior disorder program located within a public high school, the On Campus program. Program evaluation data are reviewed for attendance, academic credits, and success in mainstreaming. On Campus students demonstrated statistically significant gains in each of these areas compared to their previous regular school records. Initial post-high school follow-up data demonstrated more continued education, higher employment, and less legal problems for the graduates than for dropouts.
