Daily Feedback
More than a school, The St. Anthony approach includes comprehensive multidisciplinary coordination, aligning the best interests of each child with internal and external support. This includes dialogue with therapists and doctors as well as extensive family interaction and therapy provided onsite daily. Our goal is to promote self-advocacy while strategizing on effective outcomes given a child’s recent testing, diagnoses, medications, academic performance and social interactions to individualize goal setting. We accomplish this through our reflective modeling system, the coaching card, to help students receive immediate feedback on how they manage their day with the ultimate goal of setting standards of behavior, managing their time and organizational skills.
