Within the spectrum of care for youth with complex needs, Residential Treatment Facilities (RTFs) aim to stabilize behaviors and symptoms without any interruption to their education. Residential treatment facilities have individualized criteria for admission. Children can be placed into an RTF via voluntary placement, court-ordered placement, and, on occasion, by the child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) team. Placement made in consultation with OhioRISE could impact how tuition reimbursement is made, but all children in residential treatment should have educational stability.
