About Us

Our History

Home Court Advantage, Inc. was formed to meet a community need for treatment of boys with both mental retardation or developmental disabilities and psychiatric problems. Frequently, the psychiatric problems were evidenced by behavioral difficulties. The founders met with a number of state agencies and with the help of Jim Hare, then the Director of Area IV Division of Family Services, worked with the state to develop a program that would integrate the services of The Department of Mental Health, The Division of Family Services and Comprehensive Psychiatric Services. It was the first time in the history of the state that any organization had attempted to unite services from all these agencies
