Our Leadership | Our Clinical Leadership | Our Treatment Center | Our Residential Staff
At Pendleton Academies, physicians and other doctorate level staff take a
leadership role in the education and treatment of each child. For children
needing psychiatric care, doctors hold reviews every week and our medical staff
works hand-in-hand with a clinical team of professionals to diagnose and treat
psychiatric problems and review medications. For young students who have never
been properly diagnosed, determining the real cause of their problems and giving
the right treatments can have dramatic results.
Regular review of each child's progress in his or her medication regimen, treatment, and academic progress keeps the clinical and educational team abreast with each child's care. Assigned clinical and educational team members review assessments, prescribe and monitor medications if needed, and order psychological, neuropsychological, speech, hearing, physical therapy, and other services. Below is a list of our Doctorate level professionals that provide professional oversight of all children's treatment and education:
