High-functioning autism often co-exists with ADHD, anxiety, and other specific learning disabilities that also impact a child’s ability to succeed in the classroom. Julie Billiart Schools has strategically created learning environments that ease anxiety, reduce distractions, and provide opportunities for collaboration and movement.
Unlike a traditional school, we offer students flexible seating options and sensory toys to expend extra energy, increase focus, and encourage movement, creativity, play and effective learning. Carpeting in the classrooms and hallways reduce loud noises while soothing paint colors and decor create a calming learning environment for students that are easily distracted.
