Child and Adolescent Autism Spectrum Program
The Child and Adolescent Autism Spectrum Program has 24 beds dedicated to children ages 17 and under, diagnosed within the autism spectrum. The staff designated to work in this program have all be been trained by the professionals at the Hope School in Springfield, Illinois. We have also consulted closely with an autism spectrum experts from Tufts University in Boston.
This program is coed and the programming includes features to address not only the Pervasive Developmental Disorder but social skill deficits and sensory processing differences as well. The hallmark of this program is very individualized programs that are developed and run by highly trained staff to address the unique needs of the adolescents that are admitted. This program also is an acute inpatient care program, so the focus is on stabilization and diagnosis initially and moves to more specific treatment objectives as the stay allows.
