Join us on Zoom to learn about our unique, therapeutically-integrated program for twice exceptional kids!
Cajal Academy is a small, new special education school offering expert therapeutic support and intellectually-stimulating programming empowering kids to optimize their own learning, social and emotional outcomes. The core of our program is a multi-disciplinary team of therapeutic and academic instructors, led by an internationally-recognized neuropsychologist. Together, we are creating innovative new approaches leveraging modern neuroscientific research to address children’s learning, social, emotional and physio differences. Key elements of our program include:
intellectually-engaging and socially-engaged project-based learning with an emphasis on developing the critical thinking, collaboration and executive function skills that will enable our high-cognition kids to develop as thought-leaders
highly-individualized, data-driven programs that build up children’s low-lying skills to address their areas of difference—not just accommodate them
small group classes with inquiry-based peer learning—not passive lectures—and 1:1 academic support as needed
embedded, robust social-emotional curriculum with coaching in self-regulation and growth mindset
integrated therapies and expertise, including individual and small group occupational and physical therapies, as well as counseling, executive function coaching and social skills development from PhD-level psychologist and neuropsychologist
tight-knit community of kids who “get it,” with a carefully-fostered culture of sharing and supporting each others’ challenges
school-wide intranet and online portal to increase social engagement across our community of students, staff and parents
parent workshops and events to share the science of how children’s neurophysiology impacts their life-lived experiences
Cajal Academy serves children in grades K-12 who have verbal reasoning skills in the “very high” to “superior” ranges, including twice exceptional children and their bright and gifted typically-developing peers. We support kids with complex profiles, including learning, social, emotional, sensory, neuro-diverse and other neurophsyiological differences. We also provide the first program in the world for children with connective tissue disorders, dysautonomia, mast cell activation syndrome and other complex chronic medical conditions having variable impacts on a child’s availability for learning, social and emotional experiences.
Join us to find out more, and learn about the science behind it!
