INTENSIVE DAY TREATMENT | WESTERN SUFFOLK BOCES SPECIAL EDUCATION DIVISION
Assists school age students from Nassau and Suffolk counties to avert hospitalization for severe emotional/psychiatric problems and students with psychiatric problems who are on the Autism Spectrum. The IDT Program is also a therapeutic program to help a youngster adjust to the community following a period of inpatient psychiatric hospitalization or a short term placement for youngsters leaving psychiatric hospitalization en route to day treatment or other specialized school-based services. Instructional staff provided by the Special Education Division of Western Suffolk BOCES in concert with professionals funded by the Office of Mental Health/Sagamore Children's Psychiatric Center, provide intensive intervention to students on an extended day basis. The program also works with pupils who have been in a day treatment or other intensive school placement and have not been successful.

WESTERN SUFFOLK BOCES SPECIAL EDUCATION DIVISION
Offers a comprehensive array of programs to meet the needs of disabled and non-disabled students. Students are placed in specific programs according to their individual academic capabilities and social/behavioral needs. The fundamental goal of Western Suffolk BOCES programs is to create a stimulating and challenging learning environment which maximizes each child's potential. Western Suffolk BOCES promotes achievement and success by providing our students with the opportunity to access the general education curriculum as well as to fully participate in the New York State Assessment Program. Within the Division, a continuum of services exists ranging from mainstream placement opportunities within the Alternate Learning Center Program through the comprehensive programs within the Special Education Center. Children are placed in BOCES special education programs at the direction of the local school district's Committee on Special Education. If you suspect your child has a disability, call your local school district and ask to speak with the director of special education.
