The modalities of treatments will include Applied Behavior Analysis(ABA), Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related CommunicationHandicapped Children (TEACCH), and Behavior Modification. Treatment efforts beginning at admission focus on the individual’s behaviors, which are maladaptive and interfere with the child’s ability to participate in their community and their family in a safe and meaningful way. The approach focuses on a significant reduction and/or elimination of these maladaptive behaviors, allowing for more constructive relationships and the development of new skills that will enable the youth’s successful reintegration into the family or community. Each Child will have a treatment team comprised of an LCSW, a BCBA, Residential manager, Special Education Teacher, Registered Nurse, and Psychiatrist.

Referrals are received through the Special Residential Treatment Unit of Children System of Care.
