Maple Shade School's special education and related services program is
a full-day and residential program whose goal is to help each student
progress to the extent that returning to a less restrictive
environment will be an achievable outcome. This program can
serve twelve children, male and female, ages 8-17, who have been
identified as educationally handicapped primarily due to emotional
disturbance (E.D.). This program offers instruction and
individual academic attention in language arts, mathematics, social
studies, and science. |

certified special education teacher and one teacher’s aide for
each classroom of up to nine students with disabilities. Related

Maple Shade Mental
Health Clinic was established in 1997 and licensed by the
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the clinic provides
outpatient services under the medical supervision of Mrs.
Sushma Jani, M.D., a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
Individual, family, and group counseling; psychiatric and
medication evaluation; and medication management are provided
utilizing a multi-disciplinary team approach. The clinic is
located on the Mardela Springs Campus and serves all ages.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Program
Established in 1999 and licensed by the Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene, psychiatric rehabilitation services are an
adjunct to therapy services. This program offers therapeutic
services (ie: therapeutic mentoring, assistance with
entitlements, parenting assistance) utilizing the "wraparound"
model of providing services where the services are needed -
the
home and community. Our Therapeutic Behavioral Aides are
highly trained to implement these unique services. The beauty
of these services is that they are provided to the child and
family at the place and time of need whether it be at or home
or in the community during the day or evening hours. The
ultimate goal of this "wraparound" service is to help the
child and family bridge the gap from learning techniques in
therapy to implementation of skills in real life.
Maple Shade Respite Program
This is
an out of home respite licensed by the Mental Hygiene
Administration for children and adolescents with mental health
diagnoses. Services are provided in appropriately licensed
treatment foster care homes and group homes. This service
