Creekside
Using inherent strengths as building blocks for future success is the perfect descriptor of our Creekside Program. This co-ed unit accepts residents who are ages 13-18 and have an IQ between 50 and 70. Creekside residents have cognitive challenges coupled with emotional and behavioral issues that have left them with decreased coping skills, impaired ability to read social cues, and difficulty making and maintaining relationships.
Knowing that rewarding small successful steps leads to more success, our staff serve as teachers- providing step by step instructions, role models- demonstrating the expected behavior, and coaches- offering encouragement. This three-pronged approach leads to improved quality of life and aids our residents in reaching their fullest potential.
