The Hughes Center
The Hughes Center for Exceptional Children is a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) for youth with neurodevelopmental disorders. We also offer educational options and a private day school for students with disabilities. At The Hughes Center, we make it our mission to be the psychiatric residential treatment provider of choice for adolescents and young adults who are diagnosed with an intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder. We truly believe that each child is exceptional, and our compassionate staff are dedicated to helping each young person in our care live their happiest, healthiest life. Our residential and community-based educational programs offer structured learning environments with low student-to-teacher ratios and specialized programming with an emphasis on classroom ecology, direct academic instruction, differentiation, sensory integration, comprehensive evaluation and parent collaboration. Programming at The Hughes Educational Center is designed to improve socialization, reduce maladaptive behaviors and successfully transition our students to a less restrictive educational setting.
