Program Overview

Orion Academy provides a comprehensive program for high school students whose academic success is compromised by autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and executive functioning deficits. Orion students are bright young people with the potential for success, but as a result of their disability and traditional teaching models, they often fail to realize their full potential. Orion offers these promising students a program uniquely tailored to their strengths and needs, focusing on individual social growth, pragmatic language skills and academic excellence.
