**Aggressive behaviors towards Staff or fellow Consumers could be cause for expulsion.
We understand that many factors cause behaviors. Medication, therapy, and environmental needs are the most frequent causes. Our program is currently structured to be recreational and unfortunately, if we are redirecting or managing certain behavioral needs, that reduces the number of activities and experiences our other Love Bugs are allowed to enjoy. While it is our goal to welcome everyone, our program may not be a great fit for everyone, as the days are jam-packed with scheduled activities.
