Dear members of the ROI Team and Community:
As we learned of the mass shooting murders at Michigan State University we were both horrified and saddened by the senseless gun violence that continues to plague our nation. We grieve the deep pain that loss of life brings and the damage it has done in Michigan and around our country. As a member of the ROI family, if you were impacted directly or indirectly by these events, we want you to know that we support you. Please remember the services available to you through our Employee Assistance Program, HelpNet.
Children in behavioral treatment scored significantly higher in IQ and adaptive behavior scores than the comparison group. Further, 29% (6 of 21) children were fully included in regular education without assistance and another 52% (11 of 21) were included with support. This compares to only 5% (1 of 21) children in the control group who were placed in regular education. (Cohen, et al., 2014)
