For many families, Bancroft is the answer.
The Marciano Family came from California and found hope with Bancroft.
Bancroft offers three levels of residential programs for children from across the country:
Lindens Neurobehavioral Program
The Lindens Neurobehavioral Program is a renowned, intensive stabilization program for children and youth whose behavioral challenges are at a level of severity that impacts quality of life, family life, and access to education. Employing evidence-based treatment and practices, the clinical team works to address problem behaviors to enable children to progress to a more independent setting. The Lindens Program creates an individualized treatment plan for each child through assessments performed by highly-trained clinical staff.
Campus Residences
These spacious residences are for students who need therapeutic residential treatment, help with gaining daily living skills, and improving socialization and communication. Bancroft partners with families as well as education, vocational, and community resources to identify each child’s goals – and prepare him or her to thrive in more independent environments.
Community Residences
The most independent residential treatment setting, the Community program comprises single-family homes in neighborhoods near the Welsh Campus. Here, children and youth are empowered to continue building independence with the support needed to thrive. Children attend The Bancroft School and take part in community and recreational activities. There are two levels of support in the community program.
Where are we located?
