Crossroads Center For Children

SCHOOL AGE

Crossroads Center for children serves school-age children ages 5-12 years. Students are placed in one of two classrooms based on their age. At the school age level students work on academic, language/communication skills, leisure skills, social skills, life skills and increasing student independence. All programming is individualized to meet each student's needs. Although the school age program is self contained, opportunities are available for integration. The goal of Crossroads Center for Children is to transition students back into their home school district. Our program aims to prepare students for typical school activities so that they may be prepared for a less restrictive placement. Students learn to buy lunch, swim twice each week during the summer, and attend various field trips throughout the year.

Crossroads Center for Children has an open door policy to encourage parents to observe their child while in program. The program also encourages parents to visit school for parent trainings. Parents can watch their child participate in related services sessions as well as daily classroom activities. At the same time therapists will teach parents the skills necessary to implement programs. This carryover promotes the generalization of skills.
