Blue Lakes believes that everyone is different and, therefore, everyone’s view of his or her own world is unique and individualized. As such, we employ a person-centered model that allows us to obtain the necessary information to focus on learner needs as it applies to their wants, hopes, and dreams. This empathetic approach allows us to provide high-quality services prioritizing the values and goals of the individual while empowering collaboration with the family.
