potential recipients of services; pre-admission screening contacts; on-site clinic treatment
case management activities; and contacts with collaterals. The services available include
outreach to identify potential recipients of services (classroom observation, identification
of children with high rates of absenteeism, screening of children, including kindergarten and
first grade students); pre-admission screening contacts on site clinic treatment (individual,
group and family therapy, behavior modification, short-term psychotherapy, and social skills

interest, as well as more practical management techniques geared towards the child with problems;
