"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops" – Henry Adams
Education Program
The Education Program serves special education students 5 – 22 years of age and operates at three campus sites in San Diego. The program serves students with developmental disabilities such as autism as well as students with emotional disorders and behavioral concerns.
Individualized education and behavior programs are developed for each student to meet their specific needs. An intensive student to staff ratio is used, involving special education teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, counselors, psychologists and other aide level staff. Both academic and community-based functional curriculum options are available. Vocational training and transition services are provided to secondary level students. Consultation with a Board Certified Child Psychiatrist is available as well.
Brandon is an ordinary 18-year-old high school senior. He plays basketball, baseball and soccer, loves anything computer related, and alternately tolerates and spars with his younger sister. He “texts” his friends and family, studies website design, is helpful to his teachers, and above all, wants to fit in.
Brandon is also an extraordinary high school student. After developing normally for the first four years of his life, he began having seizures, and then slowly lost his ability to speak and understand speech. After nearly a year of searching for an answer, Brandon was diagnosed with Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (LKS). ( www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/voice/landklfs.htm) For more of Brandon's Story click here.
The programs are certified by the California Department of Education as Non-Public Schools (NPS) for Special Education. Referrals are made by school districts that contract for the special education services or private pay can be arranged. Districts responsible for the student’s funding also provide school transportation.
