OUR THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

Unconditional Positive Regard

Unconditional Positive Regard is based on the principle that students need a positive foundation of trust, rather than punishment, to succeed. Students in EA’s school-based day treatment programs learn that everyday is a fresh start, a new opportunity, so they can make progress on their individual goals.

My experience at EA has been great; I have no complaints. My son’s behavior has gotten a lot better. EA has a lot more patience with him than other schools, you don’t just send him home or kick him out.

It’s the best decision we made. It was a hard decision to make – at first, you think you want them to stay in regular school. This the school for her, though. It meets all her needs.

EA is the place that made my daughter fall in love with school and learning … She is 180 degree turned in a positive direction, and I am forever grateful for EA.

– Valeri L., Springfield Parent

EA helped my son tremendously. He used to have outbursts at home, couldn’t stay at daycare, couldn’t be in public school, and was getting in trouble with police. Now he doesn’t even need his medication anymore because he’s able to use coping mechanisms that they’ve taught him.
