Bancroft recognizes that some individuals may be best served in their natural environments. The Consultation and Training Department offers a wide array of services designed to meet the needs of persons with neurological disabilities and those providing services to them in educational, clinical, vocational and natural environments, such as public and private schools and family homes.
