Our Educational Model | Guaranteed 1:1 Instruction

The Academy’s program delivers high-impact, research-driven instruction during each learner’s most engaged hours of the day.

Our hybrid model allows families to choose how to continue learning beyond the classroom—either through home-based parent participation or by extending services in the afternoon with Cayer Behavioral Group’s therapy team. The curriculum is rooted in The Autism Helper Curriculum, emphasizing communication, language, independence, and academic readiness through individualized and group instruction. Learners benefit from close collaboration between Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Speech-Language Pathologists, and Occupational Therapists, ensuring a holistic and compassionate learning experience.
