Mission

GHA’s mission is to demystify academic and social learning differences, and empower children with the correct tools so they can be self-aware, independent, and confident in both a classroom and social setting.

Welcome

GHA is a therapeutic environment providing a range of counseling, and instructional services, in small group cohorts, and one on one intervention. 

GHA provides a safe and personalized environment for children to acquire life long skills.   Through personalized programs our specialists provide wrap around services to remediate and advance students academically, guide self regulation, and foster relationships. Our specialists counsel children in self-advocacy, and scaffold the use of tools for sensory processing disorders, anxiety, social pragmatic delays, attention difficulties, and behaviors that may result from the above mentioned challenges.

Every child enters GHA with different needs and benefits from different supports, there is no one size fits all program. GHA provides an environment that allows children to work on their needed skills, under the guidance and encouragement of well equipped specialists.

GHA children benefit greatly from our personalized approach and positive behavioral plans. Each of our small and carefully crafted cohorts receive direct social pragmatic scaffolding and a personalized success plan. 

 

Testimonials

I cannot express enough the amount of relief our entire family and care givers felt once our two boys were celebrated for the amazing beings that they are. GHA faculty were not only able to keep them regulated enough, but the boys also came home with stories of new friends and backpacks full of fun projects to share.

GHA immediately embraced our son with open arms and love and support. We’ve seen him flourish as they support his unique needs with a combination of patience and kindness.

Jessica

As a parent of a neurodivergent child, I cannot emphasize enough how much it means to find the right environment that supports and nurtures my son’s unique needs. My son, is 8 years old and, like many other children, his educational journey has been both rewarding and challenging. Finding a support program, that could offer him the right balance of academic excellence and emotional support was not easy—until we found Golden Hills Academy.
