My son graduated from Orchard Friends School, after attending 9 years there. He gained confidence, self-awareness and learned organizational strategies that help him at a significantly larger high school I credit the teachers and community at OFS for giving him the necessary tools to navigate his secondary education. I highly recommend it - you will be hard pressed to find an learning environment that cares more, and sees your child and their potential - not merely their difference.

This was a great school for our son when he attended 2004-2005. He has auditory processing, visual processing, motor planning/execution and sensory integration difficulties. Most of the original staff were there since the school was opened by Bill Hallowell in 1999. Our son improved in all areas of disability. The speech language pathologist, who helped our son tremendously with language (Dawnylle Cerula), still works there.
