Fort Defiance has developed classrooms specifically designed to meet the needs of children
who have been identified as behavior disordered or who manifest severe emotional problems
which are environmental in nature and would be considered temporary conditions.
There are four classrooms in New Mexico and Arizona, each of which is programmed to deal
with ten children who will have the benefit of temporary placement with no labeling, and
who will not have to leave their community.
