How are psychotropic medications monitored at The Discovery School?
Since The Discovery School accepts students with a wide variety of diagnosis we will discuss at admissions if a students’ current medications can be safely administered and monitored in our outdoor setting. A consulting physician visits the school on a monthly basis and meets with all students who are prescribed psychotropic medications. In these meetings the physician checks on a student’s progress and makes changes in their treatment plan as needed.
