The program is based within a school setting which provides the therapeutic milieu for assessment and intervention. There are three phases to our work with the child and family. The child receives a comprehensive, interdisciplinary assessment during the first three months. An assessment conference is held at the end of three months at which time an individual treatment plan is prepared with input from all involved staff, parents and community agencies. Parents are expected to continue their involvement to optimize and generalize treatment goals.
Ongoing consultation is maintained with community agencies.
A variety of treatment interventions are provided within the therapeutic milieu of the program. The length of stay for most children is approximately one year. Discharge planning begins admission. Discharge plans are revie Disharge planning begins at admission. Discharge plans are reviewed on a regular basis by the interdisciplinary team.
