We teach both academics and social skills with equal enthusiasms. We want each learner to discover his/her own unique gifts and talents.

The science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) guides our focus on observable, measurable behaviors. There is significant evidence to support the efficacy of ABA.

Learners who qualify for OT, ST, and PT can have therapies incorporated into their daily learning schedule.

Young Adults
In addition to serving children, TGS also serves older learners. Growing into adulthood is a critical stage of life that offers exciting milestone. It also can be challenging transition for many families.
At an age when more learners can begin falling through the cracks, TGS fosters independence while also offering an appropriate level of ABA-based instructional support for both academic and social-emotional development.
We believe that all students, regardless of their age, can and will learn given the right set of tools and instruction. Simply put, we believe if a student isn’t learning it is the teaching that must be fixed, not the student!
