Narrative

We help each student find the best ways to learn, relate, communicate effectively, and make a difference in the world.

  • Tailored learning and treatment plans

  • A brain-based assessment process that results in a full set of strategies for teaching, communicating with, and counseling each student

  • Individualized learning readiness support to address underlying neuro-development weaknesses

  • Rich and data-driven academic curricula

  • Psychiatric, psychological, and nursing consultation

  • In-house counseling

  • Multi-modal instruction, experiential and project-based learning, and a variety of extracurricular activities and electives

  • A commitment to creating learning settings that promote relaxed and alert minds, whole-body immersion of the brain in content, and opportunities for peer-to-peer interactions

Provides special education services to highly at-risk, neurologically challenged, developmentally delayed, emotionally disturbed, and learning disabled children and youth ages 7-22. Specializing in complex students with particularly difficult learning and behavioral problems including a range of traumatic experiences, NEARI is one of the only schools in the Western Massachusetts employing a wide range of applied neuroscience/brain-based teaching and remediation techniques.
