The Vanguard School provides comprehensive special education and related clinical services that are focused on ensuring the readiness for life of individual students.
Related clinical services include speech-language, occupational and physical therapies, school psychology, counseling, behavior support, and nursing.
All therapists and specialists can be actively involved in the student's entire day; clinicians co-treat across disciplines and consult with teachers and other professionals regularly.
SLI classrooms are language-rich environments that offer a combination of 1:1 and small-group instruction designed to support the intense language needs of the students.
As part of The Vanguard School, students aged eighteen to twenty-one receive continuing education, counseling, self-advocacy training, career exploration, and community-based vocational experiences.
The Vocational Immersion Program (VIP) equips young adults with developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder and related social challenges, aged eighteen to twenty-four, with critical social and employment-readiness skills through a four-week intensive program that includes classroom-based instruction, online learning, workplace internships with job coaches and a week-long supported living experience.
