Private School for Children With Autism
Give Your Child the Personalized Education They Deserve
The Academy is a division of The Learning Center of Northeast Arkansas, Inc. The Academy of TLC is a private school devoted to providing educational and therapeutic services for children with autism and other developmental disabilities.
The Academy was founded to address the need for an alternative educational environment for children with autism. Many of the children diagnosed with autism at TLC receive intense ABA therapy.
In a traditional school setting, this type of therapy is either not provided, or it is to a much lower degree than the child currently gets.
Many parents want to continue this type of therapy and The Academy will be able to provide that service for the child as well as their educational services.
The Academy has certified special education teachers who provide educational services while also developing and implementing each child’s Individual Treatment Plan.
Each child’s plan will include an ABA therapy plan developed and implemented by BCBAs and RBTs. The Academy will start the first year with kindergarten-only students and will add additional grades each year thereafter. The Academy is currently serving children ages 5-12.
