PLEA School is a licensed Partial Psychiatric Hospitalization Program for children ages 3 to 14 years old. The school-based partial program also can serve as an enrolled child’s early intervention placement through local intermediate units. For school-age children (kindergarten through age fourteen) enrollment in PLEA School can serve as an Alternative School Placement as determined by local school districts. Intervention is highly specialized and individualized to meet a child’s unique educational and behavioral needs. Each child’s clinical team includes our:
	Medical Director Clinical Director Speech/Language Pathologist Family Liaison Behavior Technology Consultant Primary Educator Primary Mental Health Therapist.
Classrooms groupings of children with similar chronological ages, developmental levels, social and communication needs are determined by the PLEA clinical team. Currently we have 7 classrooms that serve 45-48 children, from 20 different school districts. Our specialized instruction includes current data-based methods of intervention such as verbal behavior, visual activity schedules and communication, fluency-based (generative ) instruction, celeration charting, and advanced applications of applied behavioral analysis.
