Provides an accredited special education school for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems. The philosophy of the school is that all students have the capacity for learning and growth, regardless of their disability. Provides children and adolescents with emotional or behavioral problems the skills necessary to return to a less restrictive school environment, and to engage in healthy relationships with adults, peers, and society. The teacher directs students toward achieving goals, enabling students to feel in control of their actions. The role of the therapeutic staff is to explore conflicts and promote emotional, behavioral, and social growth. Therapy and staff work with students and their families. Coping skills, such as anger management, problem-solving, and assertiveness training are taught and reinforced. A structured behavior modification program, with rules, consequences, and reinforcement, assists in motivating students to achieve goals. Recreational, art and activity therapies provide an outlet for emotional expression and opportunities to excel in areas of interest. An emphasis on achievement, a positive and nurturing environment, and emotional support from the staff, help to build self-esteem and decrease feelings of inadequacy, which are common in youth with emotional disturbance and behavioral problems.
