Embedded Files
This program offers a small, therapeutic, highly structured environment for students in grades K-8 with intensive social/ emotional and behavioral needs. The focus is on building coping skills and resiliency through an environment that stresses all components of the BOCES Circle of Six.
A licensed clinical team, access to a psychiatric nurse practitioner and access to community-based wrap-around services are embedded factors of this program. Home visits are also embedded into the program in order to build a relationship with students and families. This is a program for students with a mental health diagnosis. Staff in the program include a special education teacher, a classroom monitor, 1:1 support as needed and a therapeutic support specialist that is responsible for carrying out the safety plans created for each student.
