About

Our Mission and Philosophy

Our Mission

At the Avalon Academy, we are dedicated to providing exceptional educational services to students  with movement disorders such as cerebral palsy. Our highly-skilled team of physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, orientation and mobility specialists, vision teachers, occupational therapists, and instructional assistants create individualized and interdisciplinary plans for each student, delivering classes and services in a nurturing environment, and integrating communication, academics and motor-skill development. We abide by one primary goal: for all students to achieve their maximum personal potential such that they can thrive in both school and society.

 

Our Philosophy

At Avalon, we believe in a family-centric approach to your student’s education because we know that the best outcomes stem from partnership and collaboration. We’re proud to say that most students and families come to regard Avalon as a second home.

We’re committed to providing a learning environment fully adaptive to our student’s needs, guided by evidence-based practice, compassion, and dignity for everyone that we serve.

The only place where potential is not only recognized and expected, but is emphasized and maximized. The holistic approach at Avalon offers social, emotional, intellectual, and physical stimuli which is integrated in every aspect of the program. Families are supported and always made to feel part of the team.
