Specialized Centers

While all nine centers work with children and youth with serious emotional, social and behavioral challenges, four centers have additional specialties:

• Phoenix Place and Phoenix Point specialize in serving children with significant cognitive delays.
• Harbor serves children and youth experiencing significant developmental disabilities, and a considerable impairment in communication. Many of the children have multiple-handicaps, including diagnoses within autism spectrum disorders and severe mental retardation.
• Midtown Center for Youth in Transition is designed to meet the specific needs of troubled teens transitioning to adulthood. Personalized programs are designed with each student to facilitate their high school graduation, preparedness for work and career, community participation, independent living, and lifelong learning.
