ther·a·peu·tic/ /in•ter•ven•tion/
n. Noun
Therapeutic intervention is defined as, ‘medicine or therapy used to cure
disease or pain by the involvement and intercession of proactive, therapeutic
practice.’ i.e.: a person who suffers from addicted behaviors, would benefit
from the therapeutic intervention of a residential treatment center.
Therapeutic intervention varies in methods, and types of facility in which
those methods are implemented. The most appropriate therapeutic solution
for an individual person, depends on that person’s particular disorder, the
severity of their malady, and their personal preference of how they would like
to overcome the disorder.
Therapeutic intervention is a varied and subjective term used by countless
forms of psychiatric care. For this reason, it is crucial for parents of afflicted
children to do thorough research of all potential, treatment options.

6. Children and Learning Disabilities :
Here are some points to keep in mind about learning disabilities.
• Children with learning disabilities are a very heterogeneous group. Their disabilities vary in
degree, nature, and complexity.
• Learning disabilities may affect more than just learning. Some of these children also have
poor social and athletic skills. Behavior problems, emotional difficulties, low self-esteem,
and family stresses can also occur.
• Learning disabilities change with time. They may diminish or resolve themselves with
intervention and maturation; they may appear when certain demands are placed upon the
child in a vulnerable area; or they may last a lifetime.
• Children with learning disabilities are often misunderstood. They are sometimes accused
of being lazy, retarded, or not trying. They may be subjected to humiliation and inadequate
teaching methods. They, their parents, and their teachers frequently do not really
understand their learning problems, and thus these difficulties need to be clarified and
explained by a professional in a nonjudgmental manner. Emphasize that these problems
are not the fault of the child, parent, or teacher.

7. • Learning disabilities affect families, and families affect learning disabilities. Children who
are failing or struggling too hard feel confusion, disappointment, anger, anguish, and guilt,
as do their parents. Parental attitudes and parenting style affect the children and their
attitude toward learning.
• Determine whether emotional, social, or family problems are causing or contributing to
your child's academic problems, or conversely, if his academic and learning problems are
really the root cause. Professional help for family or emotional difficulties needs to be
sought, but it should not divert attention away from the learning disability.
• Children with learning disabilities are entitled to the full support of the school system and
require a good advocate and long-term follow-up.
• Be sure your child has other activities and interests that serve as avenues for success and
gratification.
• To ensure the best results for your child, recognize learning disabilities early, arrange for
the appropriate intervention, and make sure that he is followed over the long term. Also,
instill a sense of optimism and hope in your child that together you will work toward a
solution to these difficulties

12. DRAW BACKS OF BEHAVIOR
THERAPY
• finding a qualified behavioral therapist, particularly for ABA therapy.
• There are currently no national guidelines qualifying a behavioral therapist, and the demand for
ABA far exceeds the professionals qualified to perform it.
• Time. Although therapy is considered comparatively short term, it takes time to modify behavior
and through reinforcement, replace a negative behavior with a positive one. Many parents and
teachers may find this frustrating.
• Developing a behavior therapy program for your child, it is important to create a set of realistic
expectations with the therapist-revisited from time to time as the child progresses.
