Serving children with unique challenges and abilitlies and their families since 1957, Green Tree School & Services (GTSS) programs include a licensed Approved Private School, Consulting Services, and Diagnositic Services.
It is located in historic West Oak Lane, but provides services throughout the Greater Philadelphia area.
GTSS serves students with Autism Spectrum Disorders and those identified as Seriously Emotionally Disturbed.
The admissions process begins when a student is referred by their
local education agency (LEA) in an effort to provide a free and
appropriate public education. The student must have an educational
disability of Autism or Emotional Disturbance to qualify for
admissions; he/she may have other disabilities as well such as
Specific Learning Disability, Speech or Language Impairment, and
OHI (Other Health Impairment). The referral will consist of the
student's current school Evaluation Report and Individualized
Education Program (IEP). The referral can only be submitted by the
LEA that is accepting financial responsibility for the student's
placement.
