Ocean Academy is a therapeutic school that offers educational services to students diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. As part of Ocean Mental Health Services, we work cooperatively with students and their families to provide support and services.
Ocean Academy’s cornerstone is its therapeutic component, which offers the student and their family psychiatric and therapeutic services and support from our clinical team. We develop and implement an individual treatment plan to manage and ameliorate the diagnosed treatment issues. The goal is to help each student achieve his/her full positive potential, which is facilitated by our “hands on” intensive psychiatric and therapeutic care. Our psychiatrist is on site weekly to meet with students, families and staff to oversee each student’s progress.
Educationally, Ocean Academy works closely with the sending districts to plan and implement the Individual Education Plan. Our instructional staff is “highly qualified” committed and trained in how disorders such as Pervasive Developmental Disorders, ADHD, and Asperger’s Syndrome impact the student’s learning experience. They provide for a variety of educational experiences to give every student a chance for success.
