Program Description:
The Glenview Academy of the Gramon Family of Schools is an accredited program serving students with autism and other related disabilities by providing effective and individualized instruction for each student. The mission of the Gramon Family of Schools is to prepare students for their lifelong journeys through supportive environments, collaborative relationships and implementation of best practices.
At Glenview Academy, we serve students with Autism and other related developmental disabilities from Kindergarten to 8th grade. We utilize compassionate ABA practices, which prioritize not only skill building and behavior change but the emotional well-being, autonomy, and dignity of each of our students. We believe in a person-centered approach, with interventions tailored to each student’s individual needs. Our values center on communication, collaboration, functional and meaningful goals and progress, positive reinforcement strategies, self-advocacy, and neurodiversity awareness and acceptance.
Our collaborative clinical team implements research-based practice within an integrated service delivery model. On-staff Board Certified Behavior Analysts address student needs based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Speech-Language Pathologists promote independent functional communication, including use of augmentative and alternative communication systems as appropriate.
Physical Therapists focus on developing and improving strength, balance, coordination and mobility. Occupational Therapists provide multi-sensory experiences to refine skills needed for success in everyday life and work settings.
Our Counseling Department and nursing staff support students’ emotional and medical needs. We value family involvement, including staff and parents working together to identify strategies that benefit each child both at school and home. Workshops and training ensure that families are well-informed on current educational and clinical practices, as well as steps for transitions from ages 3 to 21 and beyond. Our Parent Professional Organization supports many programs and events for our students.
