Guiding Students Home With Proven Therapeutic Education Care

Providence Treatment Center bridges the gap between crowded classrooms and isolating residential care, delivering intensive therapy in a day-school setting that keeps families connected daily.

Our specialized day program combines evidence-based behavioral therapy, accredited academics, and real-world skill practice, empowering children with autism (AU), Intellectual Disability (ID), Speech or Language Impairment (SI), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Other Health Impairment (OHI), Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Emotional Disability (ED), and other challenges to return confidently to their neighborhood schools and communities.

Why Families Trust PTC Most

Since 1997, Providence Treatment Center has operated on one unwavering belief: behavior is communication. Our low student-to-staff ratios allow certified teachers, licensed behavior analysts, and mental-health clinicians to decode that communication in real time, providing immediate feedback and instruction. Each school day blends TEKS-aligned academics, individual counseling, social-skills groups, and parent training, ensuring gains translate beyond campus walls. The result is measurable growth that positions students for a successful transition back to their home districts when they are truly ready.

How Our Process Works Simply

Therapies We Provide Daily Here

Students receive individualized Applied Behavior Analysis, speech-language therapy, and occupational therapy within the same schedule. Integrated sessions, small groups, and one-on-ones reinforce skills across disciplines, ensuring gains in communication, regulation, and academics happen together, not in isolation, for faster, more sustainable progress that families can witness daily.

Transition Back Success Stories Shared

Reintegration is never rushed at Providence Treatment Center. Instead, students practice partial-day attendance at their neighborhood schools while keeping therapeutic supports onsite. Our staff accompany them, modeling replacement behaviors and coaching district teachers in real time. Data gathered during each visit informs the pace of expansion until the child can complete full days independently. Follow-up check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days verify maintenance of gains and allow us to troubleshoot collaboratively if challenges emerge in those critical early stages.

Providence Treatment Center is a remarkable school that embodies dedication, compassion, and patience. The center’s team of skilled professionals & support staff creates personalized
programs to improve student progress and achievement. Although small, Providence Treatment Center provides big results and a loving and caring environment for our students. We are grateful to partner with this school.

PTC has been a breath of fresh air. My son has shown so much improvement, not only academically but personally. Before enrolling, my son’s behavior caused him to be out of school more than he was in school. My family and I are amazed at the improvement that he has made and the person that he has become thus far. I am impressed by PTC and how they are tailored to meet the needs of my son. While allowing him to learn and adapt at his own pace. Feedback is always positive, with options and suggestions; communication with staff is always pleasant. During the initial visit, I knew that PTC was the place for us. PTC is the only school that has
seen my son fully โ€” his strengths, needs, and uniqueness โ€” and for that we are truly grateful. Dr. Cloar and all of the PTC staff are simply incredible. Because of PTC, my son has a bright future ahead.
