II     Q. What is your curriculum?

A. We have a tailored curriculum. All of our students work from individualized lesson plans. There is not one particular curriculum that we utilize, except Phono-Graphix®, as each student learns differently. We use many different approaches to teaching and the curriculum grows and changes as the student grows and changes. This list is not exhaustive in any subject or content area. We will provide additional material should your child need it.
