The Cognitive Delayed Program is designed to meet the needs of developmentally delayed youth with sexually abusive behaviors, who because of their unique functional deficits often get lost in the mix of other programs designed for youth with higher level developmental issues. This program allows for higher staff to resident ratios allow for a warmer environment that accommodates for individual needs while maintaining a safe environment. This program is for males between the ages of 14-18 with IQ’s ranging from 50-70.

Education services, including pre-vocational and vocational training (as available), target the individual academic needs of these special teens to prepare them for success in public school and get them ready for developmentally appropriate professions. We also seek to help them maximize their abilities to provide for their own independent living needs in the communities in which they will return. Education services are provided to this population in a dedicated classroom.
