Originally founded in 1948 by Belle Dubnoff, the Dubnoff Center for Child Development, offers a day school program for students ages 5-22, who struggle with academics due to emotional, severe learning disabilities and behavioral difficulties. The Dubnoff Center also has two licensed, residential treatment facilities for boys needing 24 hour care due to struggles with histories of abuse or behavioral issues, including failures in previous placement facilities.
Dr. Sandra Sternig-Babcock is the president and CEO of Dubnoff Center and has a joint doctoral degree in Special Education from the University of California Los Angeles/ California State University Los Angeles. Dr. Michael Marx is the Director of Clinical Services and is licensed in the State of California as a Psychologist and as a Marriage and Family Therapist. He received his MA in counseling and guidance from California State Northridge and a Ed. D in counselor education from the University of Southern California. Dubnoff Center is licensed and accredited by the State Department of Education, Community Care Licensing and CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities), is a member of the California Association of Private Special Education Schools (CAPSES), Association of Community Human Services Agencies (ACHSA) and the California Council of Community Mental Health Agencies (CCCMHA).
Each student receives an Individualized Education Plan designed to meet their educational, social, emotional and behavioral needs and all curriculum is taught by credentialed special education teachers, with a 1 to 6 ration of adults to student ratio. In addition to academics, life skills and vocational services are offered to the young adult students, working with various local businesses to learn new skills and gain confidence needed to move towards self sufficiency.
Therapy is provided to students and includes substance abuse issues, mental health problems, medication services and case management.
