We implement multisensory learning techniques, behavior modification, gross/fine motor activities, family support, character building, and social skills training daily. We also emphasize receptive, expressive, and pragmatic language into each school day. Classes take frequent field trips into the community as reinforcement and to supplement our curriculum.
Each student’s academic and behavioral plan is customized and based on pre-existing and on-site evaluations. Learning styles are assessed and addressed with a multi-sensory approach. Students are taught on their own academic level with remedial and/or enrichment curriculum for students who are behind academically or gifted.
Merit Academy also offers before care and after care for families who need it as well as extra-curricular after school activities. A social group meets twice a week after school. Our own Boy Scout troop meets once a week, and Karate is offered once a week. Private tutoring is available as well as educational training and support for parents, including home-based behavior modification training for the family.
We have ABA, Speech, and OT therapists on site and available to provide services as well.
