Why Celebrate the Children?
More children are being diagnosed now than in previous years. We are gaining a better understanding of the foundations of these disorders and how they manifest developmental delays/differences. Because more children now receive early intervention, there has been an increase in the number of children who require less traditional special education programs that meet them at their individual developmental levels. We know that there is no end to what these children can achieve. We also know that one approach does not work for every child; professionals and parents need options!
Celebrate the Children (CTC) has been providing services for children with difficulties in relating and communicating since 1995. Celebrate the Children is a progressive program based on the Developmental Individual Relationship Based (DIR®) Intervention Model developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan and Dr. Serena Wieder. This New Jersey state-approved comprehensive school program uses a dynamic interdisciplinary approach that prepares students ages 3-21 for success in the 21st Century.
Our multi-disciplinary approach to education recognizes that emotionally meaningful experiences are necessary to realize the child’s true intelligence.
