Program Description:
The Community School is a nonprofit special education day school. It provides an academic, inclusive, structured, and small group, multi-sensory, individually tailored education to children with learning differences and
attention deficits. Typically, we serve students who present with LD., dyslexia, ADD, decoding and comprehension deficits, auditory processing, and ASD. Through the utilization of small group instruction, our highly trained staff utilize assistive technology, and innovative teaching that exposes students to a comprehensive education while accommodating the specific needs of all students to ensure that they excel and reach their individual potential. Related services include counseling, speech / language therapies, Wilson/Orton reading instruction, and OT. Our curriculum is complemented by a wide range of electives and clubs mirroring that of a mainstream education providing frequent
opportunity for socialization. The Community School Autism program serves students who would benefit from a less restrictive educational environment that balances support with greater independence, self-advocacy and functional skills.
