School-based Mental Health Care

We strive to provide state-of-the-art teaching and clinical/behavioral care to ensure that all students are able to learn to their greatest potential. Our special education teachers, classroom behavior specialists, and occupational and speech/language therapists all have specialized training in supporting the special needs of diverse learners.

Our clinical psychologists and social workers guide the classroom teams to ensure that students’ social-emotional needs are met and that staff training and support are provided.

Bradley Schools are private, school-funded, educational programs for children and adolescents whose psychiatric and behavioral needs cannot be met in a public school setting.

Our goal is always for students to learn in the least restrictive educational environment. We coordinate with school districts to ensure that, whenever possible, all are focused on the student’s ability to develop the skills needed to attend school back in their home districts. Our partnership programs facilitate that process for many students, and for others we carefully coordinate transition plans to ensure student success.
