ACCEPT Education Collaborative Pre-K through 12 School Programs

School Programs

We work with parents and districts to design individualized, evidence-based programs for each student addressing academics, behavioral and therapeutic needs, life skills, and specialized services based on the IEP. The goal is to build strengths and self-confidence, and to maximize potential for students in elementary, middle, and high school grades. Our Extended School Year programs are designed to prevent substantial regression of skills and provide a bridge between academic years.

ACCEPT Education Collaborative Center for Transition

Transition Programs

Transition programs for students aged 18-22 at ACCEPT ready students for employment, college, high school or special diploma, independent living or adult services. Our Programs are fueled by measures and ongoing assessment protocols to initially design each students’ individual program, routinely monitor progress and adjust students’ programs so that they reach their full potential.
