Our Program

Empowering Special Needs Students

Students in our program are provided with a 30+ hour a week on a 12-month schedule. We leverage ABA therapy and special education instruction to target and impart the prerequisite skills and dispositions students need to advance behaviorally, intellectually and socially.

The program has been specifically and thoughtfully designed to help special needs kids develop the functional life and social skills required to succeed in less restrictive educational environments and beyond.
