At The Institute, we are making a positive difference in the lives of children and families through our comprehensive services designed to optimize academic, social, behavioral, and emotional development. Our programs rely on strong and committed partnerships among our staff and families, private providers, public and private schools, and state agencies. Working in association with key people in a child’s life allows our committed and highly trained staff to bring effective and direct intervention, consultation, and training to where a child lives, learns and plays.
The Many Faces of Youth…
The Institute is able to address the needs of children with a variety of learning and behavioral-health diagnoses from birth through young adulthood, using proven effective methods of education and treatment.
