Helping Our Students Thrive
Our Students
We serve students with complex communications needs and movement disorders. We do not serve students with a primary diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Most of our students have Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy as their primary diagnoses but we have also served and supported students with less common conditions including:
Lennox Gastaut Syndrome
West Syndrome
Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)
Mucolipidosis Type 1
Joubert Syndrome
SCN1A-Related Seizure Disorders
Encephalopathy
Hydrocephalus
Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS)
Chromosomal Deletion Syndromes
If you think your student would benefit from the program at The Avalon Academy, please review our admissions process or contact us.
“The Avalon Academy provides much more than a consistent, safe, and supportive environment for children and youth with a wide range of diagnoses and high support needs. A systematic and evidence-based curriculum addresses not only the academic but also the motor, social, and communication needs of the individuals they serve. Additionally, Avalon has become a community of learning not only for the children, but for the families, professionals and training programs throughout the Bay Area which consistently place interns or attend trainings for access to exemplary practices.”
