Home School / Alternative Education / Therapeutic Day School Programs
(Teaching the way THEY learn!)
If your child is struggling in a mainstream school or if you need assistance with alternative education, therapeutic day school or homeschooling: Let us help.
Many children with disabilities have difficulty in traditional public school settings. Therapy and Wellness Connection offers high-quality, flexible educational programs, life skills and vocational services adapted to the needs of the individual.
Classes are every weekday at our Brecksville therapy clinic - starting as early as 7:30 a.m. and ending as late as 5 p.m. Courses are designed to incorporate core subjects, abide state standards and align with Common Core curricula – all taught in a manner modified to improve participation, confidence and retention. If your gets other therapies from us: Consider this a one-stop-shop. Adding to their progress is the fact that academic instructors always have the benefit of nearby therapists and development professionals who know your child – their motivators, triggers and personalities – if questions or issues ever arise.
Many of our education services are formulated with a project-based curriculum covering all required subject areas, yet keeping students engaged and poised for success.
We often incorporate alternative therapies - incorporating music, dance, and equine experiences - into our Home School Day Programs.
No child is unteachable, they simply learn differently. Let us help.
Virtual School Options
When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of schools AND private therapy clinics, providers of these essential services needed to get creative.
Therapy and Wellness Connection wasted no time in launching teletherapy services for our speech, occupational, physical and ABA therapy patients. We also spent the months that followed on-boarding options for virtual school and online tutoring.
We first began offering the distance learning option during the 2020-2021 school year, and plan to continue for as long as there is demand for it.
We also have numerous, year-round options for alternative therapies.
