Why seek residential treatment for autism or I/DD?

Bancroft Residential Treatment programs provide hope for families and give children the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment surrounded by a team of caring experts. Residential treatment is often the best option when challenges associated with autism or an intellectual or developmental disability prevent a child from fully participating in family life, school or the community. 

Through treatment from clinical experts:

  • Behavior triggers will be identified and addressed
  • Daily living and social skills are developed
  • Speech therapy, occupational therapy and augmentative communication can be integrated into each child’s treatment plan
  • Behavioral and health issues are addressed in a holistic manner


Each child will benefit from decades of clinical expertise and best practices rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis, in a nurturing, home-like setting.
