title: Individualized services for children.
abstract: In Alaska, the development of a model of individualized services has been beneficial to children with neurobiological disorders. The AYI program has successfully demonstrated that even the most disabled children can be served in communities. This finding promotes a new level of less restrictive and more therapeutic alternatives tailored to the needs of children and their caring families.
