A Brighter Future for Gideon at the Judge Rotenberg Center

A Brighter Future for Gideon

Before coming to JRC, Gideon's future looked bleak. The severity of his aggressive and destructive behaviors often left him in psychiatric hospitals, isolated from others, unable to interact or participate in most activities, heavily medicated and overweight.

Today Gideon is Thriving

Once at JRC, with slow tapering of his antipsychotic medications, consistent programming, and supplemental aversive therapy, Gideon is thriving!

Gideon's problem behaviors have shown a drastic improvement as can be seen in this chart.

As a result, his communication has improved and he has participated in many activities that have enhanced his quality of life.

Gideon now participates in daily academic, vocational, and recreational activities that many thought impossible.
