The Gramon Family of Schools is dedicated to helping children with ASD learn and grow toward greater independence.
The Gramon Family of Schools is comprised of three schools: New Beginnings, Glenview Academy, and The Gramon School.
We view autism as a spectrum of developmental disorders of an organic etiology that has at its core profound impairments in the areas of socialization, communication, sensory responsiveness, adaptive behavior, and, often, academic development.
Together with the family we address those areas in natural contexts with the ultimate goal being the integration of our students into the larger community.
Our approach derives from research and best practices in addressing those deficits particular to the autism spectrum.
The individual needs of each student at The Gramon Family of
Schools are met by a team of exceptional professionals including
the classroom teacher and assistants; speech, physical and
occupational therapists; behaviorists; and social workers. Our
mission is to teach our students to function as independently and
successfully as possible in their present and future schools, jobs,
and communities. To achieve this end, we have established carefully
structured educational, training, support, and service programs
drawing upon diverse models, depending on the particular needs and
readiness of each student. Applied behavioral analysis and discrete
trial training are fundamental to the program; other teaching
methods, including computer-aided lessons, are incorporated,
according to each student`s readiness. Sensory, motor, perceptual,
and language skills are introduced through materials and activities
that are both student-centered and teacher-directed. Activities
emphasize the process rather than the product, fostering the
students' sense of accomplishment and pride. Because students learn
best through verbal communication combined with hands-on
experiences, our program provides a variety of activities designed
to promote their overall growth and development. We value the
active involvement of our parents at The Gramon Family of Schools.
In addition to monthly evening parent training and support
meetings, we sponsor "Parent-Helper days" when parents (and
grandparents) come to work with their children in the classrooms
during the school day. These Parent-Helper days permit the students
to see their parents as important and concerned members of the
school environment while providing parents with opportunities to
observe the student with teachers and other students. Parents gain
valuable insights and techniques from the expertise of the staff,
and, at the same time, share their own talents and interests.
