The Bradley School

What to Expect

A lesson at the Bradley SchoolDuring a student's first several weeks at the school, a thorough, multidisciplinary diagnostic evaluation is completed. Since this evaluation is conducted within an educational environment, it allows the team to assess the impact of a student's mental health needs on academic, behavioral and social functioning levels at school. Information is also gathered from families, community agencies and previous school placements to understand the student as a whole person. This leads to the development of an individualized treatment plan to address the needs of the student.

Our goal is to help students learn to manage their psychiatric and behavioral symptoms so that they can become active and successful participants in school. From the moment a student is admitted to Bradley School, an effort is made to prepare the student to return to a less restrictive educational setting as soon as he or she is able. When that time comes, Bradley School staff members work closely with school personnel and other treatment providers to plan and implement a successful transition.
