Individualized Academic Program For Your Child

Distinct Abilities Children’s Center is a school where children of all abilities 6 weeks through 12 years, can build a solid foundation in which they can explore and discover their own “distinct ability” through working together.

Our classrooms offer the same academic opportunities to children with Down syndrome, Autism, and other developmental delays  which ultimately lead to success in the social world.
