Organization: THE ARBOR SCHOOL
Mission: THE ARBOR SCHOOL EXISTS TO EDUCATE CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS SO THAT THEY MIGHT REACH THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE. WE OFFER AN EDUCATIONAL HOME FOR STUDENTS WHO WOULD NOT BE SERVED ELSEWHERE.
Activities: THE ARBOR SERVES UP TO 44 STUDENTS & THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF A 100% INDIVIDUALIZED ACADEMIC PROGRAM FOR EACH STUDENT. IN THE CLASS- ROOMS THE STUDENT/TEACHER RATIO DOES NOT EXCEED 2:1. WHERE MOST PRIVATE SCHOOLS, EVEN AMONG THOSE THAT CATER TO CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC GROUP, THE ARBOR WORKS WITH STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS OR PERCEIVED LIMITATIONS. AS A RESULT OF THIS COMMITMENT TO OUR STUDENTS, THE ARBOR'S STUDENT BODY IS EXTREMELY NEUROLOGICALLY DIVERSE AND PHYSICALLY INVOLVED. CHILDREN AT THE ARBOR PRESENT A WIDE RANGE OF DISABILITIES INCLUDING AUTISTIC-SPECTRUM DISORDERS, DOWN SYNDROME, CEREBRAL PALSY, AND A VARIETY OF OTHER NEUROLIGICAL AND SEIZURE DISORDERS.
