Good morning everyone,

We wanted to share an exciting and important update with our followers@. As many of you know, our therapy department is continuing to grow. With a new therapist joining us in the upcoming school year—and the strong possibility of another—we are building something really special for our students and families.

With that growth, it’s become clear that this department needs strong, dedicated leadership to support both the administrative work and the creativity, collaboration, and clinical expertise our speech and OT teams bring every day.

After a lot of thought—and truly looking at who has already been stepping into this role naturally—we are so proud to officially announce that Elizabeth Foster will be stepping into the role of Clinical Director of the Therapy Department at Reconnections Education Center.

Elizabeth’s leadership, initiative, and commitment to our students have not gone unnoticed. She consistently shows up, takes the lead, and supports those around her in a way that reflects exactly who we are as a program. This role is incredibly well deserved.

Please join us in congratulating Elizabeth—we are so excited for her and for the continued growth of our therapy department!

We would like to share an important update with our families and community.

At this time, we will not be offering any additional tours or 2026–2027 school year trials for the remainder of this school year, aside from those that have already been scheduled. Tours and trials will resume in September.

We are continuing to schedule interviews for our homeschool co-op program and will be holding these throughout the summer. If you are interested, please call to get scheduled.

Our summer program at the school is currently full; however, we do have additional summer offerings available through REConnections DIR Center

Thank you for your continued interest and support.

In the landscape of autism support services, few topics generate as much debate as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) versus Occupational Therapy (OT).

📚✨ Happy Read Across America Day! ✨📚

Today we celebrate the power of stories, connection, imagination, and shared experiences — and that’s what we do every single day in our DIRFloortime world. 💛

Reading isn’t just about decoding words. It’s about:
🌈 Building emotional connection
🧠 Growing flexible thinking
💬 Expanding communication
❤️ Strengthening relationships

When we sit beside a child and enter their story world — whether it’s dinosaurs 🦖, princesses 👑, trucks 🚛, or a favorite repetitive page they want “AGAIN!” — we’re supporting regulation, engagement, and intentional communication.

For our kids with selective mutism, autism, or other neurodivergent profiles, reading together can be a low-demand, high-connection way to:
✨ Practice shared attention
✨ Build expressive language
✨ Increase initiation
✨ Explore feelings safely through characters

Today, read with wonder. Read with warmth. Read at their pace.
Let them turn the pages. Let them script it. Let them lead.

Because literacy grows best in relationship. 💫

• After the tour, eligible students will be scheduled for a summer trial
• Enrollment is offered based on goodness of fit and available space

Program details:
• Dates: June 8 – July 17 (Closed July 2 & 3)
• Hours: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
• Ages: Kindergarten – 12th
• Limited to 15–18 students
