About
A Social-Cognitive Learning Environment. The Newton Program is a very successful program we developed to help children with Asperger's Disorder. This specialized program is a complete educational and therapeutic school for children with average or above-average intelligence who need extra help developing social skills. While many of our students are diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, other compatible children can benefit as well, and are welcome. The children (and most adults) cannot tell who has a diagnosis and who doesn't. Our classroom model combines the highly individualized curriculum one might expect from home-schooling, but with a behavioral approach to group activities and social-cognitive development
