A Supportive School for Autism
Preparing Children for Life
A School Designed with Your Child in Mind
With personalized strategies, hands-on guidance, and expert support, your child’s journey starts here. Led by the creator of the well-known ABA CMS model, Donna M. Neill, MS, ITDS, L-BCBA, our school is designed to provide:
Empowering Bright Futures to Help Children Thrive
Every child deserves a learning environment that embraces their unique strengths. We combine extensive, hands-on mastery in ABA therapy with a commitment to creating a warm, supportive community for families.
We provide a space where children with autism gain the skills to thrive — academically, socially, and emotionally.
Tailored Learning for Every Child’s Journey
No two children are the same, and neither are our learning plans for them. Our individualized education plans (IEP) create strategies that nurture your child's strengths while addressing their unique challenges.
Our team of educators works closely with your family, therapists, and other professionals to ensure that your child's IEP is comprehensive and effective.
