The Stonington Institute Intensive Residential Treatment Center serves adolescent males ages 12 through 18.

The children with mental retardation range in IQ from 50 - 70 and other Developmental Disorders treated include Borderline Intellectual Functioning (IQ to 75), Aspergers Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and Autism.
