"The teachers here help the kids understand how to do work rather than just give the work to them." ~ CG
"The staff and teachers at IDTC don't look at us differently. They help us work on our anger so we can go home." ~ TR
Nationally recognized as a leader in school programming, IDTC’s educational programs are the cornerstone of each child’s development. Constant evaluation and examination of teaching techniques help us meet the ever changing needs of our students.
Committed to providing individual attention for all students, the clinical and educational staff work together to create an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each and every student, assessing their specific needs to guide their educational path.
Echoing that commitment to individual attention, IDTC keeps class sizes small and highly staffed. Each classroom includes one certified teacher along with at least two teacher’s aides, providing an exceptionally high educational staff to student ratio with the ability to provide concentrated attention for students with intensive needs.
All teachers are certified by the State of Indiana in one or more of the following areas:
Residential
Day School
Many of the children and adolescents that are served by IDTC exhibit behaviors severe enough to require education in a residential environment. These children live at IDTC and attend school on grounds.
Each of the children at IDTC is assigned to a social worker who provides therapy for the child on a weekly basis. The social worker also acts as a case manager and works with the treatment team to develop a plan to help the child gain control of his behavior and progress into a less restrictive environment.
IDTC’s commitment to providing the best in educational opportunities for dually-diagnosed individuals doesn’t stop with just our residents. Children who are able to remain living in their own homes, but are unable to be maintained in their community special education programs, are accepted from local area school districts to attend class on campus as Day Students.
Striving to help individuals achieve the highest level of independence possible, IDTC works with the student’s local school district with the goal of returning each child to his or her community school system following a successful period of therapeutic intervention and academic services.
