Special Education For Children and Adolescents While Enrolled In Our Autism Behavioral Health Program, South Carolina

Perhaps you’re one of these parents, one of these families, and you’re facing this very difficult decision. You might feel a strange mixture of hope and fear, you might feel some relief mixed with an inexplicable sense of failure, or you might feel completely numb. Whatever you’re feeling, it’s alright to let go and lean on someone else for a change. The Autism Program at Springbrook Behavioral Health hires only compassionate, confident, specially-trained staff members who treat each child as a unique and important individual.

Through our personalized, evidence-based treatments and therapies, we work patiently to help each child achieve some level of success and self-sufficiency outside of the program. Our holistic approach emphasizes education, overall well-being, ongoing progress, and family involvement, so we encourage visits, phone calls, and family counseling in addition to our regular autism therapy programs. Ultimately, our goal for children with autism is not that different from the goals of any behavioral or mental health center: To help the patient build a routine and manage the symptoms of the condition through therapy, diet, exercise, and medication.

Springbrook Autism Behavioral Health prohibits admission discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, language, mental disability, socioeconomic status, sex, sexual orientation, and gender or expression.

Our classrooms typically have low staff-student ratios; our highly-trained staff includes two Board-Certified Behavior Analyst certified special education teachers, and registered behavioral techs who assume the role of teachers aid in the classroom. Staff members are well-versed in the most effective methods for the treatment of destructive behaviors associated with autism. We integrate all aspects of student development into our classroom activities, including speech therapy, verbal and nonverbal communication skills, social skills, school-preparedness, self-care, and play skills. For older students, we also emphasize transitional skills in order to help students live more independently in the larger, outside world.
Our goal oriented Autism Behavioral PRTF program is located in Traveler’s Rest, SC about 20 minutes from downtown Greenville, South Carolina.
