Behavior modification programs typically have two goals : improve grades and improve defiant behavior of troubled teens.

Some programs are very similar to traditional boarding schools. Others offer a more structured setting and creative activities that emphasize positive behavior, personal responsibility, and meeting personal goals of excellence.

Some programs help more significantly troubled teens, such as adolescents with substance abuse problems (alcohol and/or drugs), emotional problems, and such psychological issues as depression and oppositional defiant disorders. Many of these behavior modification programs specialize in learning disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD, ADD.

These programs serve as an excellent resource for parents who know their teenager needs intervention for behavior or emotional problems but do not want their child to slip behind in school. Academic performance is as important as behavioral change in these programs. Many Ed. Consultants recommend these programs due to their high success ratings.
