School Notes
Our kids have too frequently been identified by their
challenges (i.e., difficulty with executive functioning or with
social cognition) instead of by their areas of strength (i.e.,
curiosity and strong interests), their gifts and their
talents.Parents of twice-exceptional children often find themselves
choosing between two sets of needs: keeping their children in
settings that will challenge their enormous potential (i.e.,
rigorous independent school settings) or moving them to places
where they can receive appropriate support in dealing with their
challenges (i.e., special education settings), but where their
gifts and talents languish. This is an impossible choice where
education stalls and psychosocial well-being suffers.Quad Prep
provides students with the opportunity to capitalize on their
strengths and further develop their passions while receiving
empathic support and empowerment to cope with their challenges.We
believe that social and emotional learning expertise lies in
clinical practice, and so we strive to "raise up" those children
whose social cognition, anxiety, executive functioning and
self-esteem may have been eroded due to prior school experiences
insufficient for their needs.The Quad Preparatory School is an
open, inclusive environment designed to foster respect for
strengths and differences. We pride ourselves on how well we
individualize attention: rather than expect a child to fit us, we
fit ourselves around each of our students.
