Eduprofile

Before you start searching for schools, it is important to understand your child's educational profile as well as your family's academic goals and practical concerns. In what type of school environment will your child flourish? What educational approach to teaching is best suited for your child's learning style? How much money do you want to spend on education? Eduprofile is a survey that parents complete, and we use the results to create a document that describes your child's educational profile as well as provides a list of schools that we think will meet your child's and family's needs.

Private Schools

There are a number of very good private schools that specialize in helping children with disabilities. They tend to be small schools that emphasize structure and tolerance. Although most are costly, their track records are typically very good, and some school boast that they have even sent some of their graduates to selective universities.

Public Schools

Depending on your child’s disability, the public school system offers a wide range of services and support; however, the process for obtaining the appropriate services for a child with disabilities is much more involved and time consuming than the process with general education students. This section provides a four-step process to help you navigate the admissions process.

Special Education

New York City has a great number of public and private schools that offer special education services. There are private schools that focus primarily on serving children with disabilites. Moreover, the New York City public education system has a vast array of services that can meet the needs of most children with disabilities. This section provides information regarding the special education services available in the City as well as how to navigate the admissions process.
