The Henrietta G. Lewis Campus School -
Located on the grounds of the Wyndham Lawn Residential Services in Lockport, NY, the Henrietta G. Lewis Campus School is a private, state-approved school serving Wyndham Lawn Residential Services and day students from surrounding school districts with the goal of returning students to their home districts as soon as possible. To this end, we use a number of innovative instructional strategies, including technology-assisted programs and interactive whiteboards. Fastmath and Read 180, for example, have allowed students to improve math skills by up to 30% in as little as three months.

In addition to our main groups of service areas – campuses and group homes, foster care and adoption, education, prevention – we also offer specialized services when clinically indicated. Specialized therapies include:
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT)
- Drug and alcohol counseling
- Attachment therapy
- Dyadic development psychotherapy
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Play therapy
- Family therapy
- Mentoring
- Family advocacy
- Adventure recreation
