After the dispositional hearing the court may enter an order
suspending judgment and continuing the proceedings subject to terms
and conditions imposed to assure the proper care and protection of
the child. Such terms and conditions may include the supervision of
the child and of the parent, guardian or custodian by the department
of human services, juvenile court office or other appropriate agency
designated by the court. The maximum duration of any term or
condition of a suspended judgment shall be twelve months unless the
court finds at a hearing held during the last month of that period
that exceptional circumstances require an extension of the term or
condition for an additional six months.
