Program
At Gillen Brewer, we believe that special needs students benefit from being in a class of peers with varied strengths and challenges, and we intentionally create cohorts of students with this in mind. Our belief in the importance of a strong school-home partnership drives our commitment to open communication, family education, and building a thriving school community.
The integrated therapeutic approach is outstanding. My son meets 1:1 with his therapists, and they push-into the classroom daily. Everyone is working on the same goals with shared strategies. When I need help, I reach out, and I am heard and supported as a parent! The families are lovely, as well. We’ve found our community at Gillen Brewer!
Current GBS ParentOur students have a variety of diagnoses, including, but not limited to:
- Language-Based Learning Disabilities
- Communication Disorders
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- Anxiety
- Challenges with Sensory Processing and Executive Function skills
- Various genetic disorders
Children who succeed at Gillen Brewer have the ability to meet academic goals and are motivated to learn and participate in group activities.
Our students have an ability to communicate (or, at the preschool level, have the intent to communicate) and show passions and interests, which increase their social interactions and engagement throughout the school day.
