Project 12-Ways is part of the
Behavior
Analysis & Therapy Program of the
Rehabilitation
Institute at
Southern Illinois
University. It offers a range of services to families in 11 Southern Illinois
counties. Its primary focus is to teach children and their parents the skills
necessary to get along without abuse and neglect. The guiding philosophy of
Project 12-Ways is that family problems can be eased by eliminating stress-producing
factors such as unemployment and by teaching parents effective child-rearing
skills.
