The Center provides educational services to severely mentally retarded and frequently emotionally handicapped children and adults who cannot be placed in group homes nor treated at home. All residents are placed at the Center by court order with half being wards of the State of Utah. Education is provided to students between the age of five and twenty-two for twenty-seven hours a week or two hours a week for homebound students.
