Program Description

The New Interdisciplinary School (NIS) is a learning center for children with and without disabilities and their families. The name describes the integration of professionals reflecting a variety of disciplines into the classroom and homes of those we serve.  The team approach forms the basis for program development and implementation for each child and their family. The programs range from small self-contained classes to larger inclusion classes, licensed childcare, nursery school and pre-kindergarten.

 

Infants and toddlers are seen at home and school, while three to five year olds are in school on varied schedules.

 

Sensitivity to the mental health of children and parents is seen as a priority. Group and individual counseling, behavior management, and crisis intervention are available to families.

 

NIS established a special program to meet the needs of children diagnosed with Autism, pervasive development disorder, and other related disorders. The Autism Interdisciplinary Model (AIM) integrates three approaches: ABA, Sensory Integration and Social Interaction. In addition, a strong parent education and support component is included.
