We meet the unique needs of students with a broad range of learning & communication disabilities, physical challenges & complex medical conditions. Our Collaborative Care Model emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to supporting each student’s progress & integrates assistive technology & therapies in the classroom & out in the community. Working as a team & partnering with students, families & sending school districts, our highly skilled teachers, therapists & direct care staff empower students to achieve their highest learning potential & level of independence. Programs include individualized instruction, pre-vocational & vocational skill development, social emotional learning, health services, integrated therapies & other curriculum-based programming, along with an array of enrichment & sports activities after school hours. Our new campus center houses a full-sized gym, visual & performing arts classrooms, a two-lane candlepin bowling alley & a fully accessible rock-climbing wall. Our fee-based outreach program, Cotting Consulting, is listed separately.
