Autism Spectrum Disorder requires a special touch. Your child needs LiFT, one of the best schools for Aspergers. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a variation of Asperger’s Syndrome , which is characterized by repetitive patterns in interest and behavior. Aspergers sufferers are capable of achieving high academic standards, particularly when they are provided with the support needed to meet their specific learning needs. These can include cognitive behavior therapy, medication, speech therapy and occupational therapy.

Asperger’s syndrome (AS) can also be a predisposition to success in certain fields of academic and professional life. Some believe that Albert Einstein and Mozart may have displayed a set of symptoms which, if they were alive today, could be considered part of the AS spectrum. Although we’ll never be able to know for sure, there are many people in the business world, science and culture today who have Asperger syndrome. Temple Grandin is a highly successful communicator and scientist who has brought awareness to AS.

Every 7 minutes a child is bullied. Bullying is a terrible, frightening experience that can also cause lasting harm, long after the behavior has stopped. Approximately 1 in 5 children are bullied in hallways, classrooms and during school related activities each year. More troubling – students living with neurodiveristy are 63 percent more likely to be recipients of bullying behavior than neurotypical peers.
