Residential Autism Care That Feels Like Home

Bancroft offers a residential program that balances safety, structure, and compassion for children and adolescents with autism and developmental disabilities. We provide 24/7 support in homes designed to foster growth and development. Personalized care plans ensure long-term success, whether your child needs intensive behavioral support or a nurturing, home-like environment.

From day one, we meet your child where they are and walk beside them every step of the way. Let’s talk about what’s possible.

Why Seek Residential Treatment for Your Child?

Residential treatment can provide the consistency and therapeutic support that children with autism or intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) often need to make meaningful progress. It may be the right next step if your child:

Struggles to succeed in traditional home, school, or community settings

Requires intensive behavioral intervention or 24/7 support

Has co-occurring medical or behavioral health needs

Needs a safe, structured environment to stabilize and grow

Three Distinct Levels of

Residential Treatment

Every child’s needs are unique, and so is the level of support they require. Bancroft offers three specialized tiers of residential care to meet children where they are and guide them forward.
Intensive Behavioral Stabilization

For children experiencing significant behavioral challenges, our short-term stabilization homes offer structured environments focused on immediate safety, crisis intervention, and clinical support.
Clinically Supported Residences

Ideal for children who require ongoing behavioral or therapeutic support, these homes blend structured routines with individualized treatment plans to promote long-term growth.
Ongoing Family Guidance

Designed for children ready for increased independence, our least restrictive settings provide opportunities for social interaction, skill building, and engagement within their community.
