The SIGHT/ INSIGHTS Programs are collaborative educational and mental health efforts to provide a therapeutic environment for children whose educational, emotional, and social needs have not been met in a less restrictive setting.

The SIGHT/INSIGHTS Programs represent the most intensive education/day treatment program currently available to students in the community.  Alternative placements may be necessary for students who do not show benefit from their participation in the program.

Scheduled parent and family involvement in the SIGHTS/INSIGHTS Programs is required by Medicaid regulations. Active parent participation in the program is expected.

The mission of the SIGHTS/INSIGHTS Day Treatment Program is to nurture and support children identified as having serious emotional disturbance (SED) that is affecting their functioning at school. These children have also been identified as meeting special education criteria for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed (EBD).

The goals of the Programs are as follows:

1. To develop responsible behavior in participating students that is age appropriate,
2. To provide a quality education to participating students,
3. To develop necessary life and social skills.

The SIGHTS/INSIGHTS team consists of four full-time staff persons including a Special Education Teacher and Teacher’s Aide staffed by the participating school district and a Program Director/Therapist and a Program Aide provided by Mountain Comprehensive Care Center.
