A Day at NeuroNest Academy
NeuroNest Academy focuses on children with special needs, from kindergarten to 12th grade. We provide small class sizes and low faculty-to-student ratios.
Our curriculum encompasses a rigorous blend of educational subjects and intensive academic support that addresses the three major learning challenges: language processing/production, sensory regulation, and socially effective communication.
Everyday experiences, such as following teacher directions or participating in a group, can overwhelm children with multiple learning differences.
Self-regulatory and sensory integration strategies used throughout the day, such as chewing gum, wheelbarrow walking, jumping rope, or climbing a rock wall, help students to focus and achieve learning readiness.
We teach children to apply strategies that help them to listen, to attend, and to complete activities independently.
Making Friends
At NeuroNest Academy, building positive peer relationships is a core goal. Though our students have average to above-average cognitive potential, they often misread social cues — whether sharing a book with a classmate or choosing where to sit at lunch. Because friendships are vital to a child's confidence and self-esteem, our curriculum reinforces key verbal and nonverbal social skills, including eye contact, body language, personal space, turn-taking, and tone of voice.
A Partnership with Parents
At NeuroNest Academy, we share a deep responsibility for every child's success. Our team works closely with families, exchanging insights on academic and social progress to better meet each student's needs. This open communication between school and home is essential for driving real growth — and when our program carries over at home, the benefits are even greater.
Educational Model
We provide the highest quality special education services to students who learn differently. We believe in doing everything we can to ensure that no child is left behind academically by providing our students with an exemplary education.
Our Curriculum Specialist and NeuroNest educators plan each student’s individual program to match their developing abilities while encouraging each to reach his or her maximum potential.
Individual and small group instruction utilizes a variety of strategies, materials, activities, and experiences to challenge and motivate the students to develop their cognitive, motor, communication, social, emotional, vocational, and self-help skills.
