The School Home Partnership

At Gillen Brewer, we believe that collaboration between educators, therapists, and families is the cornerstone of a successful learning experience for students with special needs. We are committed to fostering a strong school-home partnership that empowers you to be an active participant in your child’s journey.

Every Gillen Brewer student has individual needs and challenges, and every family is on a unique journey. Gillen Brewer may be a good fit for your family if you are looking for:

A partner and advocate who understands your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and learning needs
A community of like-minded families that can help you navigate through challenging times and celebrate your everyday successes
An authentic school experience that allows your child to enjoy their formative years in a safe, supportive environment
An open, transparent line of communication with teachers and therapists
Coordinated and streamlined therapies integrated into the school day, allowing for more flexibility after school
A school that offers a 10-month or 12-month option for academic and therapeutic support
A community built on mutual respect that values and upholds diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging
The peace of mind of knowing your child is understood and celebrated every day

Whether it is a regular phone call between his teacher and his outside therapist, or updating our shared Google doc to track his language development, I feel so lucky to have such dedicated and caring people working tirelessly to support him and help him grow. There is no other school like it.
