The teaching staff and therapists are top notch, and they truly care about my child’s well-being within the school setting and at home. We are in constant communication with the teachers and therapists and always know what our child is working on, what progress she has made, and how they are working to achieve their goals. The school has an amazing community where I’ve met some of my closest friends, they just “get it.”

Gillen Brewer students come to school each day with joy and look forward to being greeted by their teachers and therapists at the school door. Not only are our students proud of their progress in their academic and therapeutic goals, they also revel in their authentic school experiences, such as field trips, music performances, science fairs, after school programming, and more. Our students have a wide range of passions, and, through our program, they learn to utilize those interests in order to make social connections.
Gillen Brewer families come from across the five boroughs of New York City and beyond. At Gillen Brewer, they not only find an integrated academic-therapeutic program for their special needs child, they also find a warm and welcoming community where they are supported by the Gillen Brewer teachers, therapists, and administrators as well as by the friendships they develop with one another. Our families truly value that Gillen Brewer is not just a school for educating their child. It is an experience for the whole family that includes Parents Nights Out, workshops for the whole family, invitations to join our Community Feast, weekend family bowling events, and much more.
