Girls With Reactive Attachment Disorder

Here’s How We Treat Reactive Attachment Disorder at Clearview Girls Academy

We can treat your daughter if she suffers from Reactive Attachment Disorder (or RAD), a rare but serious condition in which she has been unable to form a healthy emotional attachment with her mother (or primary caregiver). Consistent care of a baby’s physical and emotional needs allows her to learn to bond, and without that (i.e.: from transient foster care), she may have a hard time establishing any close relationships.

There are two types of RAD (sometimes also known as Radical Attachment Disorder). One may find her detached, emotionally unresponsive, inhibited, or withdrawn. With the other kind, she might be inappropriately familiar or affectionate with complete strangers.

Clearview Girls Academy – The Ideal Setting to Help Your Daughter with Reactive Attachment Disorder

A stable and nurturing environment (such as what you’ll find at Clearview Girls Academy) is essential in order for your daughter to create healthy attachments. Family therapy may be critically important in her treatment of Reactive Attachment Disorder, encouraging communication between you and your daughter. By giving you (parenting) skills to help heal her disorder, she can avoid developing deeper social and behavioral issues later in life, and instead go on to enjoy healthy relationships with you and with others.
