are located near Orlando. The main campus borders the shore of Lake Carlton, lending the name "Carlton Palms" to this AdvoServ program.
Carlton Palms provides services to children, adolescents and adults with varying diagnoses, such as autism, developmental disabilities and dual diagnoses, who come from a variety of states across the
country. These individuals are referred for treatment of their challenging
behavior from a variety of settings, including from institutions that are
discharging their clients to community programs.
The program also features a specialized
Behavioral-Medical component that serves individuals who
are experiencing both behavioral and medical problems. For more information about
the Behavioral-Medical program click here.
It is the only "Comprehensive Transitional Education Program" (CTEP) licensed in Florida. This designation refers to a series of environmental and programmatic steps that transition an individual from intensive treatment, education and supervision to living and learning arrangements that afford the greatest independence possible.
The array of living environments within the CTEP continuum includes highly supervised and secure arrangements, group homes, and apartment living.
The school is a fully approved educational program. A premium is placed on educational achievement as an alternative to problems and a key to success in the future. School days incorporate all academic, vocation, leisure and adaptive domains. As attitudes turn into A's, students learn everything from social skills to social studies, often experiencing success for the first time in their lives.
The program is nationally known for its' state of the art behavioral treatment methods and its' success in addressing serious behavior problems. These problems are treated with comprehensive behavioral plans, including a full functional assessment, intensive instruction and reinforcement in alternatives to those problems. Counseling, medication and other therapeutic modalities are also available to enhance an individual's progress.
Though effective treatment and education is the mission, the warm ambiance of Carlton Palms belies its' serious therapeutic purpose. The relationships are close; the mood is light and warm. One parent described it as "intensive treatment imbedded in a summer camp".
