2Heartspring’s school program is truly a unique educational setting. It encompasses all areas of a student’s life including education, residential living, psychological and medical care, and therapies such as speech-language pathology and occupational therapy.Heartspring is a not-for-profit residential and day school serving children ages five through 21 from across the country. Heartspring serves students impacted by developmental disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, speech and language impairments, vision or hearing impairments, and multiple disabilities. Most of our students have challenging behavior that interferes with their academic progress at school, home, and in the community.The primary focus of the Heartspring School is to teach the child to become as independent as possible. We design each student’s educational program based on his or her strengths, challenges, and needs. School programs and services are delivered through an integrated team approach in the classroom and residential settings and are supported by our psychology, therapy, and medical staff. Each student’s program is highly individualized and based on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) developed for the student with active participation of the parents, the sending school district, and any other agency or organization involved in the care and treatment of the child.This evaluation report provides an overview of the impact of programs and services provided by the Heartspring School during fiscal year 2018 (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018).“We never take for granted that our son is very lucky to be at Heartspring.
