RE: Juvenile Sex Offender Programs

["Silovsky, Jane F. \(HSC\)" <Jane-Silovsky@xxxxxxxxx>]

For information on the assessment and treatment of children with sexual behavior problems (ages 3-12 years old), I'd recommend the Task Force on Children with Sexual Behavior Problems report from the Association on the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, that can be found here http://www.atsa.com/pubRpt.html   (see link near bottom of page).

For information and fact sheets about both Adolscents and Children with sexual behavior problems, resources are provided at the website of the National Center on the Sexual Behavior of Youth -

Best wishes - Jane

You have chosen well. These are considered EBP and gold standard. Good luck.
