Our New York State licensed K–2 853 program supports children on the autism spectrum through a comprehensive, child-centered model grounded in compassion, regulation, and individualized instruction. The program is fully aligned with the New York State Learning Standards and provides each student with a customized educational plan.

Students benefit from an integrated therapeutic framework that includes speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, parent training, small-group physical education, and behavior support delivered by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). A sensory room, movement gym, private playground, and specialized classrooms are incorporated throughout the school to promote emotional regulation and sensory integration across daily routines.

The program places a strong emphasis on family partnership, offering individualized parent training to extend learning and support into the home. Counseling and social-emotional services are led by a licensed school psychologist and a licensed social worker, fostering emotional growth, resilience, and self-regulation.

Our teachers and clinical team collaborate closely with families to ensure continuous communication, shared goals, and a unified approach to each child’s development. With a focus on empathy, flexibility, and meaningful connection, the program nurtures each child’s academic progress, social-emotional well-being, and overall quality of life, supporting both students and their families.
