Special Education
We've been doing Special Education work for about 55 years, directly to families and for school districts. ADD, Auditory and Graphic Processing, 504, IEP, ISP, SLP, Autism, and more.
We Share Your Dreams and Goals
We've been told time and again the difficulty of finding real support outside of the school system. We are unique in that we have been focused on special education since our inception more than 40 years ago, and we pride ourselves in our success with kids who have not previously excelled.
We Care Deeply and Our Kids Know It
We were founded by Dr. Paula Cornelius-Lopez who was in charge of special & remedial education for the Pleasant Valley School District for many years. We have steadily built upon our experience with a wide range of special needs; always improving and applying those improvements.
What We Address
Autism & Asperger's
Meaningful, engaging education IS possible. We have achieved amazing results with children for whom little was expected. Autism, Asperger's, Cerebral Palsy.
Auditory & Graphic Processing
We work with IEPs, ISPs, 504 Plans, and various processing issues to help kids move from frustration to confidence.
Speech & Communication
Using new technologies, we have helped give voice to non-verbal students and improved their ability to interact with the world.
Cerebral Palsy & More
With highly tailored programs and great care, we have helped students improve their ability to interact with the world around them. Special-needs students thrive with our motivation.
Success When You Least Expect It
We have taught phonics, word recognition, core math, and communication to students who were not expected to be able to achieve any of these things. Using new technologies, we have helped give voice to non-verbal students. With highly tailored programs and great care, we have helped students improve their ability to interact with the world around them. Even if you feel that you have been let down by your child's school, other programs, or society, please come visit us because we can make a more positive difference than you can imagine. And if you have reached us because you are worried that your child might not be 'teachable' but a part of you hopes it's possible, we may still be able to make an incredible difference. In these extreme cases where the possibility of progress is questionable, we offer a money-back guarantee: We'll give it a try for a specific trial period, defined in writing as mutually acceptable to you and us, continuing only if we all agree that the time is beneficial to the child, and if in that time you wish a refund due to lack of progress, it's yours.
We Care Deeply and Our Kids Know It
Special-needs students thrive with our motivation. Our belief is that it's always best to try, and that belief has led to great, sometimes surprising, successes.
