Preadolescent children in residential care have treatment needs that are different from adolescents. An intervention was created using developmental theory to inform decisions about the timing, objectives, strategies, and context best suited to preadolescents in an intensive residential treatment center. Aggressive behavior, seclusions, and restraints data for preadolescents during a 32-month period was used in the analysis. There was a significant decrease in aggressive behavior, seclusions, and restraints for preadolescents during the periods when the developmentally appropriate intervention was used versus the times when they received same intervention as the adolescents.
处于住宿照料中的青春期前儿童有不同于青少年的治疗需求。我们利用发展理论来为决策提供信息，以确定最适合密集住宿治疗中心中青春期前儿童的治疗时机、目标、策略和环境。在 32 个月的时间里，我们对青春期前儿童的攻击行为、隔离和约束数据进行了分析。当使用适合发展的干预措施时，与使用与青少年相同的干预措施时相比，青春期前儿童的攻击行为、隔离和约束显著减少。
