ScenicView Academy
ScenicView Academy is a nonprofit transitional school for young adults with autism or other learning differences (ADHD, Executive Functioning Deficits, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, or Dysgraphia). We help students: progress in their academic abilities, obtain and maintain gainful employment, live independently, manage health and fitness needs, engage in productive leisure time, and engage in meaningful social relationships. We offer individualized programming, case management, clinical services, education, employment, and recreational therapy. ScenicView Academy celebrates neurodiversity and helps students identify the unique strengths and weaknesses that can accompany their diagnosis. We provides a safe, supportive environment where students with learning differences can make choices, learn skills, and build confidence as they take on adult roles and independent living responsibilities.
