Academics - Recreation Therapy

Academics

Educational services are provided within the hospital through a regionally accredited school. Each patient participates in an individual education plan designed to advance them toward current and future academic goals. A wide variety of academic and vocational courses are offered. Class sizes are small and special education assistance is available. A vocational transition program is in place to assist the resident in making a successful transition. Individual study time is set aside daily to ensure completion of scholastic assignments. There are tutors and other staff assistance available during study time.

Recreation Therapy

Therapeutic recreational services provide the resident with tools to enhance self-esteem, confidence, and courage. Skills are learned and developed through games, sports, healthy leisure alternatives, interactive team activities, arts, music, and crafts. The skills learned are then applied toward resolution of real-life difficulties.
