The curriculum is flexible and individualized to each student's needs. The academic levels of Centerpoint residents ranges from early elementary to early college and each resident's curriculum is adapted to his specific learning needs. Every student receives psycho-neurological testing as part of a comprehensive educational assessment. A student's interests, learning style, skill level and specific learning and emotional disabilities are addressed in planning his course of study. The clinical, residential and educational staff work jointly with the family and the resident to develop a Program Specific Treatment Plan that will best address the student's needs and ensure his successful participation in the school program.
