ACCEPT 9-12 Academic and Language-Based

At ACCEPT, we work with parents and districts to design individualized, evidence- based programs for each student addressing academics, behavioral and therapeutic needs, life skills, and specialized services based on the IEP. Our programs address autism spectrum disorders, emotional/behavioral needs, global impairments and medically involved disabilities, cognitive/intellectual disabilities, language disorders, ADHD/ADD, and nonverbal learning disability. Our goal is to build strengths and self-confidence, and to maximize potential.

We provide a continuum of programs and services PreK-12 and to age 22 for our students. All programs have favorable teacher to student ratios, individual and group instruction, focus on activity-based learning, have access to art, music, physical activities, health and wellness, technology, and pre-vocational learning, include positive behavior interventions and supports, and have an extended year option available.

The programs in the Language-Based strand prepare students for a successful high school experience by addressing moderate language and learning difficulties. Comprehensive academic, behavioral, and clinical service supports center on developing oral, social, and written language skills to enhance communication and comprehension of academic content. Each student’s program is individualized and based on the IEP, with curriculum aligned with Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Individual and small group instruction in inclusion settings with low student-to-teacher ratios targets communication and social skills, academics, executive functioning skills and compensatory strategies to increase student independence.
