Â鶹´«Ã½

Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s approach offers a fully integrated program that combines therapeutic and educational services.

At Â鶹´«Ã½ there are no artificial distinctions between clinical therapeutics and education. Each child comes to us with their own distinct set of inter-related neurological deficits that, when viewed as a whole, are given a diagnostic label such as autism spectrum disorder. Since autism and the other diagnoses our students bear are not monolithic disorders, a mono-therapeutic approach to intervention does little to address their needs providing, in our view, a crutch or a band-aid, but no real relief. 

In practical terms, to inadequately or incompletely address the core deficits in these students impedes their progress, caps their potential, results in un-even development and increases the likelihood that they will continue to require services for the rest of their lives. For this reason, Â鶹´«Ã½'s therapeutic model synthesizes complementary modalities into a complete, individualized, and fully integrated approach to special education. 

The students at Â鶹´«Ã½ receive intensive speech and language therapy to amplify the effectiveness of our systematic language curriculum called the Association Method. Students also benefit from occupational therapy with a sensory integration approach. These educational and therapeutic methods are used in the context of a relationship-based approach to social and emotional development.
