> Behavioral

Springdale Education Center is a highly structured setting designed to provide a safe learning environment for all students. SEC's behavioral program consists of clear routines and limits as we promote prosocial behaviors, responsible decision-making and personal self-respect. We enforce a zero tolerance policy towards disrespectful, dangerous or anti-social behaviors and attitudes.

SEC's behavioral component is rooted in cognitive-behavioral programming that teaches students to take responsibility for their actions. All staff, and students alike, are thoroughly trained in relapse prevention dynamics, thinking errors principles and the use of natural and logical consequences.
