Program Information
The Glen Eden Approach
|
|
|
|
|
|
Glen
Eden offers a unique educational alternative
to meet the needs of those students who have been unable to reach
their academic potential.
Glen Eden is a treatment
center for boys and girls in grades K-12 that has successfully
functioned since 1984.
Glen Eden understands
that a meaningful education must:
·
Be humanitarian.
· Consider the
complete person both physically and mentally.
· Respond to
individual needs.
· Offer an environment
that is experientially and conceptually rich.
· Facilitate
socialization.
· Apply advances
in research that affect learning.
Glen Eden programs
include individual, group, and family counseling. As well Glen
Eden offers parent training, biofeedback,
neurofeedback, medication supervision, psychiatric consultation,
and research. Rather than focusing on specific symptoms, such
as poor reading skills, Glen Eden
staff assess all aspects of the person including social, emotional,
physical, and psychological contributions. Often the root of a
learning disability lies in one or more of these areas. Glen
Eden uses two formats, either a small
group setting and/or one-on-one instruction.

Small Groups
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Students included in small group (five
or less to one) setting who because of difficulty in attention,
anxiety, discouragement or other regulatory condition that has
interfered with their ability to cope effectively are usually
of average intellectual ability. They may also be diagnosed with
anxiety, phobia, depression, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity Disorder,
or psycho-social problems. A Glen Eden devised record keeping
system allows determination of the best group fit for the individual
student.

One-On-One
|
|
|
|
|
|
Students in this group
have more complex problems. These students require more intensive
monitoring and programming, at least initially. An even more detailed
record keeping is used to monitor and assess the needs of these
students. Some students may have severe behavioral problems that
may require medication prescribed in consultation with their family
and physician. A diagnosis of Pervasive Development Disabilities
including Autism Spectrum Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,
Tourettes, epilepsy or a genetic disorder is more likely for students
in this group. |
