RECAP Multi-Component Intervention Program

This study evaluates the efficacy of the RECAP Mental Health + Academic Program for special education students in behavioral classrooms. The program includes multiple service components: the RECAP classroom mental health curriculum, which develops students' behavioral and social skills; reading intervention; individualized skills training; and parent group. Schools are randomly assigned to the treatment or control group. This two-year multi-component mental health and academic intervention is hypothesized to improve students' mental health, social skills, and academic functioning.
