We consider our program to be an "apprenticeship" for each child. With parental involvement and the support of our knowledgeable and skilled staff, your child will learn new skills and strategies to help him or her cope and learn in settings at home, at school and in the community. Our goal is to help your child learn independently and manage effectively in day-to-day situations.
