HELPING THOSE IN GREATEST NEED

"The League Treatment Center in Brooklyn serves students that no one else can—students who have been rejected by the public school system because their emotional problems are so severe and who cannot afford private schooling. The center, a combination of a school and licensed children’s day treatment program, offers some of the most —if not the most —difficult students a chance to be successful at school, and eventually in life.  For an impressive number of these severely disadvantaged students, the center provides a ticket out of poverty. Without the center, these students—designated as emotionally unstable and often in need of special education—are almost certain to wind up on the streets, in prison, or on drugs. An estimated 30 to 50 percent of incarcerated individuals are learning disabled. As many as 75 percent of incarcerated youth are estimated to have a mental health disorder. The center’s nursery-to-12th grade program provides a trained staff, small class size, one-on-one support, clinical treatment and learning plans. A team of psychiatrists, psychologists, speech and language specialists, social workers, physical therapists, nurses and teachers skilled in special needs work onsite. The success rate is astounding: it has an eye-catching 99 percent attendance rate. And 100 percent of the students who do not transfer to regular public school meet the school’s requirements for graduation—a remarkable achievement for students who are at the highest risk for failure and dropping out. Nearly 10 percent of students transition to public schools each year and 95 percent of the graduates of the preschool enter programs run by the Department of Education. To expand the League Treatment Center, Robin Hood is funding a full-time crisis intervention team."
