Program Description:
CTC Academy provides creative education and advanced therapies to children with many different types of disabilities who are facing physical, medical and developmental challenges. A multi-sensory approach is utilized in a nurturing and caring environment to enrich the lives of our students and maximize their potential while lending support to their families.
The CTC Academy is made up of board certified and licensed professionals in many areas including: education, nursing, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, behavior therapy and speech-language therapy. Our enriched staff to student ratio allows for individualized attention to all of our students while therapists, teachers and classroom staff work closely together to encourage practice and carryover of skills throughout the day.
Our Early Enrichment Program offers a group-based therapeutic and educational enrichment program for children ages 18-months to 3-years. The program is designed to stimulate development in the areas of language, fine and gross motor skills, as well as social, emotional and daily living skills in these early learners. Each 2 hour EEP session is full of fun, creative, therapeutic infused activities designed to stimulate each child’s development. Some of the activities include: circle time, songs, story time, playtime, arts and crafts, music therapy, yoga, physical education, snack, computer activities and water/sand play. We encourage socialization, utilize adaptive equipment suggested by our CTC Academy therapeutic staff, and teach communication skills in a small group setting.
Our Comprehensive full day 11 Month Learning Program at our Fair Lawn Campus consists of Preschool through 2nd Grade programs (serving 3-6 year olds) and continues to Primary, Middle, High School and Transition Grade programs (serving 6-21 year olds) at our Oakland Campus.
CTC Academy is a state-approved special education program serving children with developmental and physical disabilities as well as medically fragile students. All of our classrooms are designed to offer our students an intimate class setting where individualized education program (IEP) goals are combined with a sensory-based learning program to enhance their developmental skills and enable them to reach their maximum potential.
We offer many programs to our students and families including: adapted physical education, dance, yoga, horticulture, therapeutic horseback riding, physiatry clinic, sibshops, monthly parent support groups, and educational seminars.
