We serve students ages 3 through 13, providing specialized educational programming for children with autism and related neurodevelopmental differences.
Solstice Academy is a dedicated educational program specifically designed for children with autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders. Our program is committed to fostering an environment where students can achieve their fullest potential through a comprehensive and individualized approach to learning.
At Solstice Academy, we provide a robust curriculum that spans across various developmental domains, including academic/cognitive, communication, adaptive living, social/emotional, and self-care skills. Our enriched learning environment is tailored to support each child’s unique needs, ensuring they engage meaningfully with their education and progress towards optimal outcomes.
Key to our approach is the integration of behavioral support within the educational framework. We utilize evidence-based strategies to encourage positive behaviors and address challenges, allowing students to thrive both in and out of the classroom. By focusing on individualized goals and progress, we make a significant difference in teaching methodologies and learning experiences.
We recognize the importance of collaboration in achieving success for our students. Solstice Academy actively teams with external providers, integrating services such as speech and occupational therapy to complement classroom learning. Additionally, we maintain strong partnerships with families, ensuring that educational strategies are consistent and reinforced at home.
Our commitment to a holistic, supportive educational experience enables students to build critical skills, enhance their independence, and ultimately succeed in diverse aspects of life.
