Farmington Valley Diagnostic Center

Clinical Programming/Therapeutic Approach

We utilize a relational and trauma-informed model which rests on the fundamental belief that meaningful, individual change always takes place in the context of authentic, trusting relationships.

We rely on restorative practices in lieu of punishment based approaches, while still informing intervention decisions with objective data and applied behavior analysis.

Academic Programming

Academic instruction is highly individualized and in line with IEP goals and objectives. We offer credit recovery options and prioritize the reengagement of reluctant learners in their own future planning and academic success. Academic instruction is provided by certified special education teachers.

Our Location

We are located in Weatogue, right next to the Farmington Canal Trail. Our small, inviting campus highlights our outdoor space which we utilize frequently! Academic instruction and clinical groups often take place outside, or even while walking on the trail. We recognize that nature and movement can be therapeutic, engaging and restorative.
