Overview

AT THE CHARLTON SCHOOL, we know that some students too often get broadly categorized. 每个人的治疗方式都不一样,所以我们的治疗方法因人而异. The aim is always the same, though. 离开查尔顿的学生能够独立地自我调节自己的行为, set goals, and care for their own intellectual and emotional needs. Our integrated behavior strategies lead to emotional balance, clarity of self, and healthy habits that are sustainable.

We understand.
对我们来说,行为是一种交流形式,我们把它看作是一种帮助的邀请. 我们将每个学生的课程建立在持续的功能行为评估之上, 监测进展并根据需要调整治疗和教育.

We focus on the positive.
For each student, 我们创建一个积极的行为支持计划,奖励解决问题, makes each individual accountable for behavior and decisions, and supports efforts in social, academic, and vocational settings.

We keep the momentum going.
在查尔顿的住宿治疗是整合在学生的整个一天,从时间花在我们的住宿小屋, to classroom experiences, and from extracurricular activities to, of course, a wide range of clinical interventions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the frequency of therapy provided at Charlton?

Our program is a therapeutic microcosm. 每一次互动都是潜在的治疗干预或意外. 从这个角度来看,学生接受的“治疗”的数量可能会有所不同. 学生正式参加个别治疗,每周至少一个小时, family therapy twice a month, and group therapy two times a week. Licensed therapists and our consulting psychiatrist, psychologist, and school counselor deliver these more traditional therapies.

What treatment model do you use?

我们在查尔顿没有治疗模式,原因很简单——只要我们订阅一个, we begin to lose our individualized approach. 我们利用各种模式来定制治疗,并鼓励学生和他们的家庭之间的合作. 我们对学生挣扎的理解大部分来自于贝塞尔·范德科尔克的研究, MD and Dr. Ross Greene.

Do you use a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) model?

We do not. 我们借鉴了几个概念来帮助我们的最终目标,即教学生独立地自我调节自己的情绪和行为. Through years of trial and error with various models, 我们已经认识到,专注于一种模式往往会削弱我们个性化方法的有效性.
