Participants engage in age-appropriate training modules covering life skills, socialization, and vocational preparation through community outings and in-house activities like culinary arts and gardening. The program operates in small group settings with clinical oversight to support personal development and community integration.
Behavioral Supports
Behavior Support Services utilize positive reinforcement strategies tailored to individual assessment results. Our clinicians provide both individual and group therapy focusing on social boundaries, emotional regulation, and appropriate social media use. Treatment plans incorporate evidence-based approaches for managing challenging behaviors while promoting prosocial development through structured therapeutic interventions.
