	The PATH program operates a public school classroom with a PATH teacher and staff. Professional Services are available and rich staff coverage assures safety and enhanced programming 24 hours per day. Treatment of behavior problems in the PATH program utilizes a behavior analytic approach. All programs are designed both to reduce behavioral excesses as well as to accelerate positive social skills. Treatment also includes person-centered teaching in the areas of self-help, education, communication, and recreation as deemed necessary by the interdisciplinary treatment team. Behavior programs are carefully integrated across all areas of training, and are designed with consideration of the individual's eventual return to the parents' home. Parent and school training are available as needed to enhance successful re-entry to the family home. In keeping with its goal for short-term therapeutic treatment, the maximum length of stay in the PATH Program should normally not exceed 2 years.
