Bayes Achievement Center

About this facility

This provider offers a residential and school-based program supporting youths ages 6–22 with autism, emotional challenges, and behavioral needs. They offer specialized programs, including Piney Woods Program for emotional and behavioral disorders or high-functioning autism, and Raven Lake Program for more involved needs such as autism, intellectual disabilities, and traumatic brain injury. Their commitment is to provide unwavering support until students return home or graduate. The program uses a structured, function-based approach to behavior that emphasizes prevention, responsibility, and individual growth. Therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), individual, group, and family counseling, speech and occupational therapy, social skills training, and music and horticulture classes. Teachers and staff apply evidence-based strategies and coordinate across home and school settings to help students build skills in real-life environments. Students live in home-like residences with a 1:3 staff-to-student ratio and 24-hour support, following daily routines that include school, therapy, and community outings. Staff apply consistent behavior plans across settings, while outdoor activities, field trips, and horticulture classes support hands-on learning and social growth.
