Resources and Technology

The Auburn Lake Academy offers state-of-the-art technology to aid children and adolescents in learning, as well as provide an additional communication link to families during therapy sessions when travel is not a viable option.

Video Conferencing

The Auburn Lake Academy uses video conferencing technology that allows two or more people in different locations can see and hear each other at the same time. Clinicare, the Academy's parent company, has built an advanced video conference network around the Midwest that consists of 15 separate video conference sites.

Video conferencing is a cost-effective communication tool that can save time away from work for parents, agencies, and clinicians by eliminating the need for travel. Placing a video conferencing call is much like placing a telephone call. Once connected people can see and hear the other person or persons in live high definition video.

• Heightens motivation
• Bridges the travel gap
• Saves time away from work
• Increases safety/reduces "travel risks" for youth
