Frequently Asked Questions

Children's Academy currently serves students in Kindergarten – 12th grade. We serve students with a range of disabilities. All of our students benefit from intensive speech & language therapy in the classroom.

We are located midtown east Manhattan. CA students come from all 5 boroughs and the surrounding NYC area.

Children's Academy offers a 6:2:1 classroom ratio, where one of the staff members in the room is a Speech Pathologist, meaning that the child has access to formal speech and language therapeutic approaches throughout the day. We do not have aides or paras, rather every adult is an educator or therapist so support throughout the day is from a speech and language perspective. Additionally, the SLP teaches various academic blocks throughout the day. This means the students are learning specific subjects from SLPs who can work on their speech and language goals.

Another unique and defining characteristic of Children's Academy, is that we break the children into groupings for all their academic subjects. This ensures that our students are paired with learners at their level, not necessarily their grade. This is the case for Math, Reading, Language Arts, Schematic Play/Social Skills and OT group. By grouping the children based on their level, the content and pace of instruction is a better fit for each student, and they are not bound to learn based on the skills of students in their homeroom. Also, it enhances self-esteem because no student is "pulled out" of class for a subject, but rather the entire school is moving to their groupings together. Within this model, awareness of skill differences is less obvious among the students.
