Description
The National
Children’s Center School provides individualized instruction and related
services, in a small setting, to students who are unsuccessful in
mainstream education due to cognitive limitations and emotional
involvement. The purpose of the program is to equip students with the
skills necessary to return to a less restrictive educational setting
when appropriate. All students will learn to live as independently as
possible, maximize their potential, and reach their personal goals.

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.
