Description of Program:
While symptoms may be subject to classification, people are not. At Glenwood, each person is evaluated and treated as an individual. Not only are services and treatment settings prescribed according to individual needs, but also professional staff creatively tailors programs to enhance each person's opportunities for success. Glenwood believes each person has the potential to improve and we strive to maximize that potential in the least restrictive setting possible. Equally important, Glenwood serves the families of clients. Glenwood encourages parental involvement to enhance the efforts of the treatment team. The staff at Glenwood respects the dignity of the individual and recognizes the individual as part of the family unit.

Not only are treatment, education and the welfare of clients important, but also Glenwood is committed to research. A scientific research committee, affiliated with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and composed of Board members, physicians, scientists, and clinicians, is dedicated to promoting research in hopes of improving treatment methods for individuals with autism and mental illness.
