Since January 2000, the full day school program has offered a specialized, educational curriculum for students, ages 6-15, with moderate to severe learning disabilities of average to above average intelligence. Under the direction of Dr. Pamela Adelman, Executive Director, and a faculty of learning disability specialists, regular education teachers and artists, each student has access to:

• A comprehensive learning plan that links specific diagnostic information, specialized instruction, modified curricula and appropriate related services (e.g., counseling, speech therapy);
  
• Intensive, one-to-one assistance using state-of-the-art remedial materials and methods to address specific learning difficulties;
  
• Regular education teachers and professional artists co-teaching with learning disabilities specialists;
  
• Appropriate modification of each student's regular education curricula.

Educational Outcomes
