Provider Highlights and Information
Population Served:
Waterfall Canyon Academy provides structure and support to neurodiverse students exhibiting complex needs that cannot be met in a traditional educational or home setting. Our students have significant challenges in multiple areas, including communication, social interaction, sensory processing, and behavioral regulation. They often demonstrate difficulty with understanding and expressing their emotions, struggle with self-care tasks, and experience difficulties in forming and maintaining relationships.
We have two structured and supported residential treatment programs for adolescent males from 13-18 years old along with several transitional programs supporting males from 18-25 years old.
Therapeutic Modalities:
Each student will meet with his primary therapist a minimum of once per week for both individual and family therapy. Through the therapy process, students are taught skills needed to better function in a variety of environments such as emotional management, social skills, developing and maintaining healthy relationships, mindfulness and awareness, along with the objectives outlined in their treatment plan.
Commonly used theraputic modalities:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy
- Sulution Focused
- Person Centered
- Motivational Interviewing
- Social Skills Training

Academic Information:
OakGrove School is a non-profit, accredited, private school located a few miles from each program home and serves Waterfall Canyon Academy students only. OakGrove School envisions students learning in an environment similar to their home schools, but on a much smaller level. We offer students the opportunity to “unplug” from their daily distractions and dig into learning. Our school will help students recognize their potential to be leaders amongst their peers, representatives of their community, and stewards of the environment.
Because our students often struggle with executive functioning and impulse control, OakGrove School is dedicated to educating the whole student. Frequent opportunities for reflection will allow students to connect the curriculum to their lives and the community they are part of. Personal growth will be built into every lesson through guided personal choice, goal setting/monitoring, and self-evaluation.
