Clinical Model
Grafton’s clinical model — which we call the Foundation of Care™ — guides every aspect of what we do. All of this rests on the foundation of “meeting people at their best” – meaning clients’ own interests and skills are the basis for all teaching.

Meeting People at Their Best
All of this rests on the foundation of “meeting people at their best” – meaning clients’ own interests and skills are the basis for all teaching. This was a core philosophy of Grafton’s founder, Ruth Birch.
They have a very comprehensive set of services – psychiatric services, medical management, nursing and education staff – they are able to address all of that and serve students with ID and autism.
