Education:Natchaug provides various educational programs such as:Clinical Day Treatment School Programs (CDT):Natchaug's clinical day treatment programs, which are approved by the Connecticut Department of Education, offer special education services to students in grades k - 12, whose social, emotional or behavioral health problems prevent them from functioning successfully in a public-school environment. Each student's academic and clinical treatment plan is individually designed to address his or her special needs. Our programs' goal is for these students to return to their public schools once the Planning and Placement Team (PPT) determines this it be appropriate.Natchaug Hospital School Programs:* Each school day, an average of 120 students attend Natchaug Hospital's school programs* Approved by the Connecticut Department of Education Students come to the Journey House School on a planned basis and for non-educational reasons. Each student's school files are evaluated for proper placement in school. Girls who receive special education, Section 504, and regular education all are educated at the Journey School. Students come to the five CDT sites via a Planning and Placement Team (PPT) Meeting from their home school district. They may be placed on a diagnostic basis with PPT meetings every two weeks while psychiatric, psychological and educational assessments are performed. Students also may enter the program already receiving special education services with an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) in place. Transportation to all day school programs is provided by the Local Education Authority (LEA) that placed the student; however, transportation during the school day for field trips is often provided using Natchaug vans with school staff driving. At times, school field trips are transported by outside vendors. Description of typical day:A typical day in the CDT schools is similar to any traditional school day, with academic subjects in addition to psycho-educational groups led by school clinicians.
