PHILOSOPHY  

We believe that "special" children are valuable members of the community and have the right to receive an adapted education, opportunities for improving life skills, communication strategies, and respect for their individual strengths. We believe the family is an integral part of our efforts and their input is treated with respect. We encourage parental participation in planning individual programs. We believe that every child has potential. We believe in a coordinated, cooperative effort to develop and provide therapies and learning strategies that will improve the quality of life for each child and family.   

We strive to battle prejudice and encourage inclusion through opportunities for supported integration whenever possible.   

We advocate for acceptance of children with special needs in the community.
