STUDENTS LEARN TO:
ScenicView Academy is designed to build the autonomy, competence, and connections of young adults with neurodevelopmental differences. Students become part of a unique community that respects the challenges, strengths, and contributions of each individual while working to develop the skills, responsibility and relationships needed for individuals in a community to live, work, and thrive, together.
LiveOur Live Program emphasizes the daily living and lifelong learning skills needed to become residentially independent. Skills like: budgeting, cooking, personal hygiene, medical and dental health, laundry, cleaning, and transportation prepare students to live independently in the community. Educational support is also available in reading, writing, math and for getting a high school, college, or trade school diploma.
ThriveOur Thrive Program is about all the things that make life meaningful. The classes, clubs and activities in the Thrive Program provide students with new experiences and new relationships. Students develop individual talents, find personal fulfillment, and prepare socially and emotionally to integrate into community life.

Other VideosIn the early days of autism, it was a diagnosis treated with doom and gloom. Public Service Announcements that aired back then often portrayed autism as a curse and depicted autistic individuals as unable to function in society. ScenicView Academy knows that individuals with autism offer unique skills, perspectives, and insights that the world needs. This video was created to be a spoof on some of those early PSAs.

We believe in the inherent value of every individual. ScenicView Academy is an inclusive environment where every individual can discover their true potential and be valued for who they are. Our goal is not to change students into something they're not, but rather to help them grow into who they've always wanted to be. This video shares a few of our students' experiences. |
