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.
