"Family visits are a crucial part, not only of the treatment, but also of the well-being of the girls," explains Stephanie Taylor, Eva`s Assistant Program Director.
Eva Carlston is an accredited school that has licensed teachers
and support staff to meet students overall learning needs.
Eva Carlston is located at the foot of the Wasatch Mountain
Range overlooking the Salt Lake Valley. The school is perfectly
situated to take advantage of both outdoor experiences and urban
cultural events. Eva Carlston Academy provides a nurturing,
home-like environment whereas students plan and cook meals,
complete daily chores, engage in group activities, and make
decisions that affect self, others and the home. Students
participate in a democratic system at Eva Carlston and are
encouraged to advocate for self and overall needs socially,
emotionally and academically.
I've been working with Kristi and her team for a decade now. One of the most satisfying parts of this hybrid school, which also provides intensive residential therapy, is the live school experience and how that molds to the individual needs of a student. I am always impressed to see how the Eva Carlston teachers adapt to the accommodations and special needs of the students. It is challenging to teach special needs kids in any setting, let alone residential care. But these teachers are rock stars and I am proud to work with them.

Sending our daughter to Eva Carlston Academy was one of the best things we could have done for her and for our family. The staff nurtures and teaches students using an old-fashioned method of earning privileges or consequences, depending on how they respond to daily routines. Over time, the changes in our daughter were remarkable. The staff used empathy and patience in working with her. The therapists were outstanding, with the ability to get to the truth and uncover the source of the problem. My daughter loved the classes at ECA, especially the art classes, and learned to love reading. The art teacher brought out aspects of my daughter that we never knew existed. We are grateful for ECA, Kristi and her team for what they have done for us. Definitely a five-star experience.
