The Benefits of an Academic-Therapeutic Special Education

Whether looking for a specialized program for the first time, or considering a new placement for a child, Assistant Head of School at Gillen Brewer, Holly Thomas, urges families to ask themselves, “How much is your child really understanding throughout the day? Is the curriculum really tailored to where they are developmentally? Are they getting the most out of their day? Or are they simply going through the motions?”
