Specific Learning Disabilities of a moderate to severe nature, with language, reading, and/or math disorders. Consideration is also given to students who demonstrate academic problems due to traumatic brain injury, autism (specifically Asperger's syndrome), speech and language impairments, and other health impairments such as allergies, asthma, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADD and ADHD), arthritis, mild cerebral palsy, childhood diabetes, heart disease and heart- related problems, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, neurofibromatosis, mild orthopedic disorders, seizure disorders, Soto syndrome, spina bifida, encephalitis, Tourette's syndrome, visual and hearing impairments which can be accommodated within our educational program and secondary social and/or emotional problems which are not the student’s primary diagnosis. The school does not serve children who have a primary diagnosis of mental retardation, emotional disorder, and/or serious physical disabilities.
The ACLD Tillotson School was founded in 1972 by ACLD, Inc. (An Association for Children & Adults with Learning Disabilities, Greater Pittsburgh Region), a not-for-profit corporation, as an education placement option for students with complex specific learning disabilities and related disorders whose parents cannot obtain appropriate education services in the public sector. The school is a day school for elementary, middle, and high school students through the age of 21. It is licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Board of Private Academic Schools within the Pennsylvania Department of Education and is approved by the PA Department of Education’s Bureau of Special Education.
The ACLD Tillotson School provides a unique and very successful type of education model that emphasizes a highly flexible learning environment and instruction program. The school is dedicated to helping each student succeed. Our educational program is a composite of a flexible and integrated system of instructional programs: learning support with a concentration on language development, reading and learning strategies; transition skills; emotional support and social skills training; and specific types of physical support such as OT and PT. This is provided within a highly structured and therapeutic environment.
The ACLD Tillotson School’s comprehensive educational, behavioral, social, and transition programs are aligned with research-based instructional models and are taught by specially trained and certified staff. The school’s small physical size and environment provide each student with increased instruction, attention, and involvement. The school's distinctive program is under the daily direction of experienced administrators who, together with over forty direct service staff, provide for the varied needs of the school's students. Staff are constantly assessing each student’s needs and progress and modifying instruction to promote the student’s learning and success. Students can attend the school on either a full-time or part-time basis.
Student exit and outcome data have been maintained on all students who attended the ACLD Tillotson School since FY 1973-1974. Some students were able to successfully return to their respective school districts. Of the students who remained at Tillotson during their high school years, over 96% achieved a high school diploma and went on to employment and/or post-secondary training and education. [Data analysis meets the new federal standards for measuring high school graduation rates.] A recent written parent satisfaction survey reported that 99% of those responding rated their child’s overall program as excellent to good. All (100%) reported that they would recommend the ACLD Tillotson School to other families and that the school’s program exceeded their expectations.

Program Description Our philosophy is that our students' issues affect the whole family, not just the child. Each member of the family is impacted by the struggles of students with LD/ADHD issues. Parents become overwhelmed, first due to the issues which impact family life and second due to a lack of understanding by school systems, extended family members, and society in general as to the needs of the child and the demands on parents.
Brehm's model of intervention focuses on the "whole child." We focus on the academic, social, and emotional needs of the students and the family. Our dorms are organized for family living and function as independent family units. Our social skills training program is centered in each dorm because our students need to learn how to function as a productive and contributing member in the dorms and at home. It is usually at home that our students vent their daily frustrations because it is a safe place for them to do so. We recognize this as a survival behavior.
Our students often develop survival behaviors because they protect themselves against a perceived hostile world where they are failures. These behaviors, which are often negative in action or attitude, are the students' way of surviving. Our task is to directly teach students the social skills of how to say they are angry without getting in trouble for it. They can do that by developing appropriate communication skills (social skills), knowing what they are successful at (strengths) and knowing what strategies they need to be more successful. They need an opportunity to belong to a peer group which is not judgmental but supportive. They need adults who understand their struggle and are willing to work with them to develop the skills to be successful socially and academically. Emotional healing occurs in the process of the hard work with support. Support and understanding for the child take a major burden off the parents. In a boarding situation, homework, chores, time management, organization skills, study skills, etc., are more manageable because all the peers have the same expectations. Participation in activities with peers is contingent on performance in problem areas. Focus on the issues in our environment is not a stigma because all students have similar issues. The primary focus is on strengths which are utilized to teach the student how to compensate for weak areas.
If your child has a need for a positive peer group; greater structure on a daily basis; more direct instruction in social skills; greater remedial efforts; and a traditional high school academic experience, where he or she can still be successful without a watered-down curriculum, you need to check out a boarding school. If you as a parent need to be able to have a normal family life and reclaim your family life because of lack of support, you need to check out a boarding school.
We deal with families. We recognize the stress and issues. We strive to provide normalization. We want our families to enjoy their families. We wish you well on your search. Give us a call about our program or other resources in your area. Maybe we can help.

Program Description
Our program operates Monday through Thursday 9:00am-3:00pm and
9:00-12:00 on Fridays, September-June. An extended year program is
offered during the summer. Celebrate the Children is an eclectic
program designed to meet the needs of the individual child. The
backbone of the program is the Developmental Individual Relationship
based (DIR) intervention created by Drs. Stanley Greenspan and
Serena Wieder. However, sensory integration, structured social
skills training, behavior modification techniques, speech and
language, and academics (based on New Jersey’s Core Curriculum
Content Standards) make up our comprehensive curriculum. The basis of DIR is to help children achieve regulation through relationships while providing them with the foundations needed for all learning. These foundations include the ability to sustain attention to activities and interactions, engage in interactions through a range of emotions, develop adaptive and coping strategies, be initiators of independent ideas and have the ability to sequence these ideas in meaningful ways, develop a good sense of self and the ability to string together ideas and social interactions to problem solve, to think and play symbolically and understand emotions, to use creativity and imagination, to think abstractly, reason and problem solve. Individual, specific language, social, behavioral, academic and workplace readiness skills are layered upon these foundations. All skills are targeted through motivating, experience-based interactions with staff and peers.
Program Profile
Admission Procedures If you would like your child to be considered for admissions at Celebrate the Children, the first step would be to have your current school district mail a request for consideration, with as much information regarding your child as possible (i.e. functioning level, diagnosis, etc.).
