Camelot of Illinois

Des Plaines

Camelot's Residential Treatment Center located in Des Plaines serves children and adolescents, ages 5 to 21, with an IQ as low as 25.

AUTISM AND ASPERGERS PROGRAM

These programs specialize in the treatment of all disorders within the autism spectrum, including Aspergers. Children, ages 6 to 18, are individually assessed and given customized treatment plans to meet their specific needs. We provide one-to-one staffing where necessary to assure adherence to individualized treatment plans and the highest level of safety.

TREATMENT MODEL

Camelot is committed to integrating the latest proven approaches, including Applied Behavioral Analysis, in working with children and adolescents impacted by autism. The foundation for our work, the Developmental Individualized Relationship Model, is relationship based, child centered, goal directed, flexible in its application, adaptable to diverse settings and aimed at the individual’s inherent potential.

Our client base is extremely diverse, and includes children with additional complications which have contributed to treatment difficulties and failures during past placements:

• Health Impairments

• Prader-Willi Syndrome

• Sexual Identity Issues

• Incontinence

• Hearing Impairment

• Verbal Impairment

• Intelligence levels of 25 and above

SPECIALIZED PSYCHIATRIC PROGRAM

This program treats children and adolescents who are dealing with a variety of mental health needs. We provide a structured living environment that fosters independence and personal responsibility while providing a curriculum tailored to the individual needs of the child.

TREATMENT MODEL

The program’s level of treatment is appropriate for children who no longer need an acute psychiatric setting but are not yet ready for group home living or foster care. The most common diagnoses include:

• Bipolar Disorder

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

• Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

• Major Depressive Disorder

• Psychotic Disorders

All residents of the residential treatment center also attend the therapeutic day school 205 days per year.
