Come Visit Cotting Parents and professionals interested in knowing more can arrange a tour. During such a visit, you may find a biology class out hunting spring peeper eggs or the primary school rehearsing for a musical program. You might see a communication therapist encouraging a student to create a new ending for a fairy tale, or watch a physical therapist give driving lessons to a young teen with a new electric wheelchair. Perhaps you'll catch the basketball team in practice. Any one of these interactions shows what's special about Cotting School.
Students work on self-help skills from managing personal care needs to interviewing for employment.
