FAQ
Where does treatment take place? Clients are served in school, home, community, and clinic settings. Most youth skills coaching occurs at school so that students can practice skills at school.
What will treatment cost? SWIFT services are paid for by the Oregon Health Plan or the SWIFT RCT (details here). There are no out-of-pocket charges for treatment.
Can we participate in treatment over the summer? Most families continue SWIFT services during the summer. Activities during the summer are designed to help students maintain gains and practice new skills for the upcoming school year.
