No matter what the goal, the common thread running through every student's experience is a positive outlook and attitude that results from achieving goals in an atmosphere where respect, honesty, patience, teamwork, and caring are promoted.
The Riekes Center adheres to several values, established by the Riekes Philosophy and Methodology (RPM), which form the foundation for all of our programs: To exist for the enhancement of the individual student. We recognize and celebrate that each student is unique and distinctive. We harmonize diversity within an environment of mutual respect and nonjudgment. To provide the best possible opportunity to help a student define and accomplish his or her individual goals. Through our dedication to our staff, facility, equipment, and research and development, we are committed to helping students reach their goals. To appreciate that all students, all goals, and all interests are equally important. It is the responsibility of our staff and students to create an environment that allows all students to be and feel equally important.
