“Our main objective is to extend a child’s learning environment – from school to home to other settings where nurturing adults maintain a vested interest.”

OUR STUDENTS

Students Considered for Admission

• Children with ADD, ADHD, Non-verbal Learning Disabilities, Language Processing Disorder, Tourette’s Disorder, Fragile-X, Regulatory Disorders, Tuberous Sclerosis and related conditions.
• Children whose difficulties with organization, planning, motivation, social or emotional development and information processing are not being met by other facilities.
• Students with Asperger’s, Autism or PDD and related disorders that affect social development, who demonstrate the potential for independent social functioning.

To benefit from Lionheart, children need to have verbal skills and be able to work in small groups. We look at the functional developmental levels of each child rather than their diagnosis. These areas include auditory or visual processing, language or speech, fine and/or gross motor planning, self-regulation and relatedness.

Most of these children have previously been enrolled in public or private schools where their needs simply could not be met, or they have had a comprehensive home program and are now ready to broaden their learning environment and be part of a social group.
