New
Heights School & Learning Services offer Preschool and School Programs
and Specialized Services for children on the Autism Spectrum and/or children
with severe sensory integration difficulties; impairments in social interaction;
emotional control; interpersonal skills; and flexibility.
|
|
Many students have a history of emotional
challenges: ongoing problems with peer relationships; teasing by peers
because of their different mannerisms and social behaviors; poor coordination
which interferes with their ability to succeed in motor activities,
and as well, many have academic challenges. |
What
We Do
At
New Heights we create a safe, accepting and inclusionary environment where
the focus is on each child’s strengths rather than their deficits.
We have a team of specialists who work together to assist our students
to achieve their potential. We have a proven track record of helping children
develop the skills and strategies they need to achieve independence and
success in school, in the community, and in the world around them.
We do this by targeting specific areas a student may need to strengthen,
including:
*
sense of him/herself as a learner
* independence and self-regulation
* interest, respect and responsiveness to others
* communication and social skills
* fine, gross and sensory-motor skills
* play skills
* creative and critical thinking skills

“I
cannot say enough positive things about New Heights—I believe their
level of personal attention and genuine caring for each child is unrivalled.
I would not hesitate to recommend our school to anyone—I know my
boys are in good hands”

| Our
preschool program has successfully provided quality early intervention
for children on the Autism Spectrum for more than ten years. Our school
aged program began in 2006 with one classroom and we have increased
the number of classrooms each year due to interest, demand, and our
visible success with our students. The school is full of energy and
potential. We are now bursting at the seams and are excited that as
of September 2012, we will be moving to our new location at 4041 Breskens
Drive where we can continue to grow and to provide our exceptional
programming. |
