Cheerful Helpers

About Cheerful Helpers

Cheerful Helpers' preschool-kindergarten program is for children ages 3-7 with high-functioning autism, attachment disorders, developmental delays, and processing, learning, and emotional difficulties. The developmental, relationship-based treatment approach is accomplished through a combination of educational, sensory-motor, communication, psycho-dynamic, and family systems interventions. The children attend school five days per week, in small language-rich classes, with a 1:2 staff/student ratio and a dedicated multi-disciplinary team of special education teachers and therapists. All parents participate in family therapy, as well as a weekly parent group. School-based occupational and speech therapy are also provided as needed.
