For more than 30 years, Spectrum Schools have helped severely challenged students build upon their strengths and develop the skills they need to maximize their independence and reach their highest potential.

Spectrum offers tested and proven programs to help students with these common learning disabilities achieve their highest potential:

  • Autism-spectrum disorders
  • Developmental delays (DD)
  • Emotional disturbances (ED)
We've developed a menu of services that can be customized to help students achieve their IEP goals, including:

  • Other services to help student reach their IEP goals
At Spectrum Centers we offer:
Individualized plans - We consider, combine, and coordinate our programs and services based on each child’s own abilities, interests, and goals.

Positive teaching methodologies - Safe, positive, and respectful methodologies teach students self-control and appropriate alternative behaviors, and improve their ability to learn and communicate.

Outcome-based programs - We set measurable goals for language development, social skills, academic progress, and daily living skills. And we closely monitor and document every outcome.

Educational excellence - We rely on proven strategies, and our highly credentialed staff members are engaged in on-going training and research into emerging practices.

Collaborative attention - We work closely with speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, other specialists, as well as with the child's family and home school.

Positive learning environments - Our classes are small and highly structured, with intensive staff-to-student ratios. Our multi-disciplinary staff is encouraging, optimistic, and committed to helping every child succeed.
