Lake Pointe Academy

Lake Pointe
Resource Center
Is a 501(c)(3) organization comprised of parents and professionals focused on community outreach and education. Together we are reaching other families with children affected by autism and related neuro-developmental conditions to lead the way in bridging a network of support and evidence -based educational and therapeutic services within our own community.
Our Vision is to engage our community so together we can demonstrate a greater AWARENESS and understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders, gain a deeper compassion and RESPONSIVENESS towards meeting the needs of families and children, ENCOURAGE therapies and educational programs which improve independent functioning of persons with neuro-developmental conditions, and ultimately become a community that is prepared to successfully INTEGRATE these individuals into vocational or higher educational opportunities.

Lake Pointe Academy - Granbury, Tx!
A safe place to learn & grow for life…
An experience where your child's uniqueness is embraced and strengths are discovered... a learning environment where the non-typical learner can develop a new direction for life-long success!
LAKE POINTE ACADEMY is a private, non-profit therapeutic school serving students ages 6 through grade 12. Our program is grounded on the principles of understanding that NOT ALL MINDS LEARN ALIKE. Our professional team implements a Strengths-Based approach to whole child learning where students can experience belonging, significance, and success, above all!
WE ARE a multi-disciplinary team of professionals with experience in Special Education, Therapeutic Counseling, Social Skills, Dyslexia intervention and ABA classroom management. We are committed to assisting parents and students in developing tools and strategies needed to prepare for life beyond the school setting!
OUR PROGRAM is designed to build upon each student's individual strengths and minimize challenges in the areas of:
ATTENTION AND SENSORY DIFFICULTIES
SOCIAL SKILLS AND RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT
ACADEMICS
COMMUNICATION/LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES
SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-HELP SKILLS
ORGANIZATION AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
Our structure is unique because it is built upon understanding children who demonstrate behaviors that are often misunderstood are often at risk for negative disciplinary actions that may increase negative behaviors and poor social responses. We believe in EARLY INTERVENTION! When negative behaviors are left unresolved, it can lead to an increase in more severe behavioral difficulties often uncharacteristic to your child. These situations can also place them at risk for lowered academic performance, developing anxiety, depression, or other mental health related concerns. What’s really important is that when children are distressed, so are parents! We are here to partner with you and develop a pre-emptive plan for consistency, continuity, and generalization of new skills for desired outcomes at school, at home and in the community.
OUR PHILOSOPHY at Lake Pointe Academy is understanding every student learns in different ways. We believe each student has the ability to learn skills needed towards personal achievement and should be encouraged to each their fullest potential. We believe this occurs when the environment and curriculum is individually suited to their unique learning needs and built upon each student's individual strengths. This commitment is the foundation in our approach and development of our program. We accomplish this through maintaining a calm and nurturing environment, an Individualized Success Plan that implements systematic adjusted teaching strategies using evidence-based methodologies, within a carefully structured and predictable daily routine.

Being diagnosed with Autism and navigating through the school system has many challenges. Your child may not have been given the tools needed to thrive, as the resources weren’t available. We believe that by providing students with confidential, non-stigmatizing support both on a regular and as-needed basis, will help them not just thrive, but excel.
Our programs are data-driven program, grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles and supported through naturalistic positive learning opportunities. Our students are not required to have a "label" or diagnosis.
