"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn." - Ignacio Estrada

Our program offers students a 1-on-1 or small group learning environment focused on each individual student’s academic and behavioral needs. Our goal is to help students be successful to the maximum extent possible in their general education classrooms. We also focus on social skills development, working on communication, reading social cues, and teaching appropriate behavioral strategies. We work closely with speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy services offered through the AEA, as well as any outside services in which students may participate.

We use a collaborative teaching model in our general education classrooms. This allows us to work as a teaching team to meet the learning needs of every child. Your child will be part of an active, hands-on classroom environment. It is our goal to determine the methods of instruction that are most effective for each learner. We utilize these methods to foster growth and discovery.
