Special Services for Special Kids

  • Treatment for younger populations - We provide treatment for children as young as age 6 (and to age 21).
  • Treatment for medically fragile children - The medically fragile population includes, but is not limited to, children with seizure disorders, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, cancer and shunt placement.
  • Treatment for developmentally disabled youth - Crossroad has a strong commitment and belief that programming should be modified to meet the individual needs of all clients. Youth with special needs are mainstreamed and incorporated into campus-wide residential programming, and treatment modalities are individualized at a developmentally appropriate level.
  • Specialized Group Therapy - Our therapists lead weekly groups addressing topics such as fire setting, eating disorders, physical and sexual abuse, bereavement, grief and loss, dissociation and childhood disorders best treated with play therapy. Groups are offered for both our residential and outpatient clients. Many of these groups were developed at referral agency request!

New Programs

Teaching tools include a variety of curriculum materials, role modeling and age-appropriate interactive experiences.
