TREATMENT OUTCOME DISCLAIMERS

ANY PROGRESS STATEMENTS, OR APPARENT IMPLICATION OF TREATMENT PROGRESS, ARE ONLY ESTIMATES OF WHAT WE HAVE DOCUMENTED IN THE TREATMENT OF ANOTHER PERSON. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE ANY OTHER PERSON WILL RESPOND AS WELL. IF YOU UTILIZE ANY OF OUR TREATMENT PLANS IN WHOLE OR IN PART, YOU MUST ACCEPT THE RISK THAT THE PERSON YOU ARE TREATING, OR IN WHOSE TREATMENT YOU ARE INVOLVED, WILL NOT DO AS WELL.

WHERE SPECIFIC OUTCOME FIGURES ARE USED AND ATTRIBUTED TO AN INDIVIDUAL, THE OUTCOME FIGURES ATTRIBUTED TO THAT PERSON WERE ACTUALLY OBTAINED AND ARE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS AVERAGE OUTCOMES. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY PRIOR SUCCESSES, OR PAST RESULTS, AS TO TREATMENT OUTCOME, CAN BE USED AS AN INDICATOIN OF THE FUTURE SUCCESS OR RESULTS FOR ANY OTHER PERSON.

TREATMENT OUTCOME RESULTS ARE BASED ON MANY FACTORS.  WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU WILL BE AS A TREATMENT PROVIDER, OR HOW WELL THE RECIPIENT OF TREATMENT SERVICES BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON OUR TREATMENT PLANS WILL DO, AS WE DO NOT KNOW YOU, YOUR BACKGROUND, YOUR WORK ETHIC, OR YOUR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS OR PRACTICES, OR THE BACKGROUND OF ANY PERSON TO WHOM YOU MIGHT RENDER ADVICE OR TREATMENT SERVICES. THEREFORE WE DO NOT GUARANTEE OR IMPLY THAT YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN TREATING CHILDREN WITH BEHAVIORAL OR ANY OTHER DISORDERS, OR THAT YOU WILL HAVE ANY SUCCESS AT ALL. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE YOU WILL DO AS WELL IF YOU UTILIZE OUR METHODS OR OUTCOME STATISTICS.  YOU MUST ACCEPT THE RISK OF NOT DOING AS WELL.

ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES BY IBC ARE FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.  USE CAUTION AND SEEK THE ADVICE OF QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. CHECK WITH YOUR PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISOR, ATTORNEY OR PROFESSIONAL ADVISOR, BEFORE ACTING ON THIS OR ANY INFORMATION.

USERS OF OUR TREATMENT PLANS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND WEB SITE ARE ADVISED TO EXERCISE THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE REGARDING THE MAKING OF TREATMENT PLANNING DECISIONS.  THE USEFULNESS OF ALL INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED SHOULD BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY YOUR OWN QUALIFIED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. 

OUR INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ON THIS WEB SITE SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED AND EVALUATED, BEFORE REACHING A TREATMENT TEAM DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO RELY ON THEM.  SUCH TREATMENT DECISIONS MUST NEVER BE MADE BY AN INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE TREATMENT TEAM THAT MUST INCLUDE AN APPROPRIATELY LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. 

WHERE NO SUCH TEAM HAS YET BEEN CREATED, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY TREATMENT PLAN SHOULD BE POSTPONED UNTIL SUCH A TEAM HAS BEEN CREATED (CONSISTING OF THE CHILD’S PARENTS, AN APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, AND OTHER ADULTS INVOLVED IN THE CHILD’S LIFE, INCLUDING THE CLASSROOM TEACHER OR DAYCARE SERVICE PROVIDER IF THE CHILD IS INVOLVED IN DAYCARE OR ENROLLED IN SCHOOL).

YOU AGREE THAT IBC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF YOUR TREATMENT PLAN DECISIONS RELATING TO ANY INFORMATION PRESENTED BY IBC, OR IBC PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
