Not by the developer of the model (aka someone who gains or profits from it).<\/li>\n<li>Resulted in significant and sustained effects for a minimum of 6 months post-treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below is a list of evidence-based treatment methods and programs to serve a wide array of adolescents and children with a variety of issues.
