Our Primary Goals
Promote positive, lasting changes in daily behavior.
Teach essential, new adaptive behavior and learning skills.
Challenge and prepare students to confidently return to their community.

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.

Lifelong Continuity Support Model
We follow students from enrollment through community reintegration, tracking progress for life.
Real-World Skill Transfer Focus
Community outings and simulated classrooms ensure behaviors generalize beyond our walls quickly
Expert Multidisciplinary Team Care
Board-certified clinicians, psychiatrists, registered nurses, speech therapists, occupational therapists, behavior specialists, and certified teachers collaborate to craft individualized, data-driven plans for success.
How Our Process Works Simply
For students referred by their home campus or their school district, our team reviews their IEP and FIE to determine if our program will meet the student’s needs. Progress is monitored daily through task sheets and behavior sheets, allowing rapid intervention adjustments. When exit criteria are met, we coordinate with the home district to schedule a reintegration plan.
For private students, parents reach out to PTC individually. Enrollment will begin with a comprehensive functional-behavior assessment and academic review conducted on our PTC campus. Using those findings, our team designs an Individualized Education Plan outlining behavior goals, instructional strategies, and transition criteria. Progress is monitored daily through task sheets and behavior sheets, allowing rapid intervention adjustments. When exit criteria are met, we coordinate with parents to schedule return criteria.
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.
What Parents Are Saying About
The difference was immediate; my son went from daily office referrals to earning classroom privileges within two weeks. The staff kept me informed with data and phone calls, and they even trained our home team so we could respond the same way. He loves school again, more each single day.
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.
