NYC Special Education Attorney Adam Dayan sits down with Lauren Koffler, Head of Admissions, Client Relations, and Communications for Shrub Oak International School, a private, coeducational, therapeutic day and boarding school for students who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and co-occurring conditions including nonverbal learning disability, reactive attachment disorder, social-pragmatic communication disorder, ADHD, and visual and hearing impairments. Throughout this episode, Adam and Lauren discuss how therapeutic day and boarding schools can meet the needs of students who have high personal attention needs and are in need of highly individualized programming and require placements that can provide an outstanding education in a warm, supportive, family-centric environment. Adam and Lauren explore the concept of individualized strength-based learning and the importance of equipping students with the tools needed to develop friendships, navigate their communities, and achieve success.
