<td width=80%> The Van Cleve Program accepts children with learning and
emotional disabilities for four years and nine months to eleven years
of age. Children may remain in the program until the age of thirteen.
The goal of the program is to remediate the behavioral and learning deficits
of students by providing academic and social skills necessary to enter
a less restrictive program.
<p> The program provides a highly structured educational day and five
day residential setting, including counseling services for both students
and families. The program's philosophy lies in the belief that students
want to progress, learn and be successful. To assure their success a
supportive, structured setting is provided in which the students discover
to be valued and capable individuals.
<p> A multi-disciplinary evaluation team provides a complete assessment
of the child's functioning levels. A complete battery of educational
tests are administered to access skills and levels. A neuro-psychiatric,
psychological, social history, medical and physical movements evaluation
is completed prior to the student's entry in the program. These evaluations
help formulate the student's Individual Educational Plan (I.E.P.), with
goals developed in the areas of academics, behavioral management, physical
and social development.
<p> All children are re-evaluated at specified intervals to access their
progress and to ensure continued appropriate planning. In addition to
the educational curriculum, the students also receive related services
including art, <A HREF="music/">music therapy</A> , physical education
and computer instruction.
<p> Upon completion of the Van Cleve Program students are placed in their
next education setting after meetings by their local Committee on Special
Education. Students have moved into the regular public school system,
less restrictive educational setting and other residential treatment
facilities.
