READS Academy

READS Academy is a therapeutic day school that serves children and adolescents between the ages of 5 to 22 who have been diagnosed with emotional, behavioral neuro-developmental and learning disabilities, and who require specialized instruction and services to meet their needs. The mission of READS Academy is to facilitate a student’s personal growth on an emotional and psychological level and to provide a structure for developing basic interpersonal and social skills through academics and counseling.
