At Gersh, we believe that every child’s educational journey is as unique as they are. That’s why we go beyond traditional approaches to learning and behavior management, embracing the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model to truly understand and support each student. The CPS model helps us see challenges not as barriers but as opportunities for growth. By working with our students to uncover the "why" behind their struggles and co-create practical solutions, we equip them with essential skills for success—both in and beyond the classroom. ?? Curious how this philosophy shapes our programs and empowers our students? Read more about our approach here: https://lnkd.in/e7SSqCF7
We celebrated our 100th day of school! ?? From challenging math skills with “Counting to 100” games to unleashing creativity with 100-themed art projects, our students had a day filled with fun and inspiration. They enjoyed tasty 100-piece treats at the Snack Station, dressed up in creative “100” themes (or as their future 100-year-old selves!), and captured funny memories at the portrait station. To top it all off, we kept the energy alive with a playlist of the Top 100 Greatest Hits!

“Will my child be okay on their own?” “Are they really ready to take on these responsibilities?” “How can I best prepare them for what lies ahead?” It’s true–the journey to self-sufficiency for young adults is not without its trials.There will be moments of doubt, setbacks, and situations that test your patience and resilience. Of course, this is an experience for any parent, but for those with children with autism, it can seem that much more overwhelming. However, as with every age, there are countless opportunities for growth, breakthroughs and unexpected victories. Seeing your young adult take steps towards independence can be incredibly rewarding. To support them in this journey towards independence, it’s important to focus on key strategies that can foster self-sufficiency and confidence.?Check out more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/e3qtE7vK
Success looks different for every student, but we love to celebrate any kind of win! We recognize that each child is unique, which is why we do not subscribe to one style of teaching or approach to learning. Instead, our teachers identify the type of thinker and learner each student is—whether verbal, auditory, photo-realistic, or pattern thinker—and customize a program that ensures their success. That's the Gersh Difference! ?? Learn more about our programs:https://lnkd.in/erRZCcCm
