AU McCarley J; Tate D; TERRIFIC, Inc. Washington, D.C. 20009.

AB OBJECTIVE: TERRIFIC, Inc. through it's four Grandma's Houses and the
Francois-Xavier Bagnoud (F-XB) House demonstrated that socio-economic
deprived HIV-infected children experienced decreased hospitalization,
increased cognitive skills development, improved emotional stability and
longevity when placed in residential surrogate family environments. Can
residential surrogate family environments provide cost/effective,
quality, alternative home environments for HIV-infected special
children. METHODS: 1. Socio-econically deprived HIV-infected children
who were abandoned, abused, neglected were eligible for placements, 2.
The samples was determined by the organization's screening and
assessment mechanisms; 3. Preindicators included children's adjustment
to environment, developmental milestones, emotional status, weight
status, self esteem; 4. Outcome variables included progress rates during
placement; readiness for entry into external institutions, readiness for
permanency placement. RESULTS: Children who were placed demonstrated
milestone improvements; decrease hospitalizations; few school absences;
weight gain and maintenance above the baseline data upon residential
entry. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The special population of children
demonstrate substantial improvement through innovative surrogate family
alternative residential settings. Multidisplinary, therapeutic
residential care homes, cost/effectively extend the lives of
socio-economically deprived HIV infected children.
