are located in the rolling horse country of Delaware and along the Maryland border. Services are spread over a number of settings encompassing a variety of community residences and two schools, including Summit Academy, an historic country manor house renovated into a modern school.
	These programs provide residential services to children, adolescents and adults from the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard, and daytime educational services to students from Delaware and adjoining states such as Maryland.
	Parts of the program are devoted to individuals with autism, developmental disabilities and dual diagnoses, and other parts to individuals with severe emotional disturbances and conduct disorders.
	All aspects of the programs are licensed by the State of Delaware, and the schools are fully approved by its Department of Education.
	Individuals live in inviting community residences that range from attractive ranch style houses, a beautifully renovated farmhouse, and the "Role Model Inn", a sprawling home for those who have progressed through the program and can live with higher degrees of independence as they prepare for their return to the community.
	Significant behavior challenges are treated with comprehensive behavioral plans, including a full functional assessment of factors maintaining problem behavior, and intensive instruction and reinforcement in alternatives to those problems. Counseling, medication and other therapeutic modalities are also available to enhance an individual's progress.
	A premium is placed on educational achievement as an alternative to problems and a key to success in the future. Students' school days incorporate all academic, vocational, leisure and adaptive domains. Here they learn everything from social skills to social studies, often experiencing success for the first time in their lives. All students make gains; some are able to gain high school diplomas.
