The
League Treatment Center was founded in 1953 as the first day treatment
center and school in the nation to provide an alternative to
institutionalization for children and adults with autism and severe
developmental disabilities. Our
day treatment, day habilitation and education programs are focused on the
individual and offer the support and structure necessary to modify
behavioral and psychiatric difficulties and maximize each person’s
potential. Interdisciplinary
clinical services include psychiatric, psychology, social work, nursing
and educational services, as well as counseling, speech, physical and
occupational therapies. The
League Treatment Center’s mission is to discover and nurture each child
and adult’s strengths and abilities.
Every aspect of our programming reflects the unshakable belief that
everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed in school, in program, in the
community and in life. The
League Treatment Center is a licensed Medicaid provider of Mental Health
services. Our programs are
certified and funded by the New York State Office of Mental Retardation
and Developmental Disabilities, the New York State Office of Mental
Health, the New York State Department of Education, the New York City
Department of Education and the New York City Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene. Our
dedicated and qualified staff members, including experienced medical and
clinical professionals, provide a diverse range of services that impart
each individual in our care and their families with opportunities and
dignity. For
