- Somerset Hills Learning Institute employs the curriculum proven to teach children the functional skills they need to succeed at home, at play, at school and in the workforce.
- The Institute delivers a unique blend of science and compassion to meet the needs of each of its students.
- At Somerset Hills Learning Institute, children with autism are doing what was thought to be impossible just a short time ago.
- Children once silent and "cold" are speaking with parents and asking for hugs and tickles.
- Youngsters once thought "joyless" can now be seen skateboarding, taking ballet classes, riding rollercoasters—the same things typically-developing children enjoy.
- They master academic skills, do chores and participate fully in family activities.
- They learn to behave appropriately at religious services, in restaurants, and on vacations.
- Over time, our students acquire all the necessary skills to live and work as productive citizens in their communities.
