How Can We Help?

  • We do so many different things here at school! We teach monthly lessons, hold "small groups" each year to target specific skills, and meet one-on-one with students as needed. Our door is always open for our students AND family members! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need support; even if we cannot answer your questions, we will help you find someone who can!
