What Easterseals Academy Offers
Tailored Academics
At Easterseals Academy, we understand that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we offer a variety of curriculum programs like STAR, Links, and Unique Learning System, each designed to encourage critical thinking and foster independence.
- STAR (Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research) employs Applied Behavior Analysis methods to enhance critical skills in children with autism and other disabilities.
- Links (Linking Assessment and Instruction for Independence) offers a web-based curriculum targeting upper-elementary to post-secondary students, teaching them independence across various settings.
- Unique Learning System/N2Y is crafted for students with complex learning needs, providing differentiated content aligned with standards.
Outpatient Therapy Services
Beyond academics, we offer onsite outpatient therapy services, removing the hassle of juggling multiple locations for your child’s comprehensive care. We accept various insurance options including ARKids 1st, Medicaid, TEFRA, and TRICARE, making quality care accessible.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
We’re eligible for the Education Freedom Account, which offers scholarships for students with disabilities. Additional income-based scholarships, such as Philanthropic and ACE, are also available.
