Turning Point will provide the support needed to ensure the educational, intellectual, social-emotional, and vocational development of students to enable them to be productive members of society.

WHAT IS TURNING POINT?

Turning Point is a self-contained program on an alternative campus in the Washoe County School District (WCSD) in Reno, Nevada. The Turning Point program helps individual special needs children who have problems and who have demonstrated significant behavioral regression in the least restrictive environment (LRE) on a middle school or high school campus, even with supplemental aids, services, modifications, and individual behavior plans.

Wrap-around mental health services are provided in the community through the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, and the Children’s Cabinet.
