Direction Service Programs
We work with families who have children, youth, or young adults (ages 0-23) with disabilities. Nearly half of new referrals are children and youth with a primary diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or mental health and behavioral disorders.
Our Counseling Center provides a full range of mental health services to very young children, children and adolescents, families, and adults of all ages. We specialize in comprehensive assessment, treatment planning, skill building, individual and family therapy, and group therapy and consultation.
The Center for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education (CADRE) increases the nation's capacity to resolve special education disputes. We encourage the use of mediation, facilitation, and other collaborative processes between parents and schools.
