The Springboard School helps children with developmental challenges reach their potential

The Springboard School at Lubavitch on the Palisades teaches bright young children ages 4–6 with a variety of developmental challenges to make friends and builds a foundation to a mainstream environment. Our multidisciplinary approach helps children with communication and learning disorders, ADHD, emotional and behavioral problems, selective mutism, and high functioning autism reach their full potential.

Ours is a developmental, language-based, parent-child program that addresses the social, emotional, behavioral, language, and cognitive development of each child. Our staff is comprised of a well-trained interdisciplinary team including speech and language therapists, special education teachers, occupational therapists, school social workers and child development specialists.

Our students graduate our program with a strong foundation for a mainstream educational environment. We support both our students and their families throughout their time in our program and equip them with the tools to use for years beyond.

We accept students year-round, with limited spots available for mid-year enrollment. For more information or to apply, please contact our director, Lois Mendelson, PhD, at lemendelson@gmail.com or 917-692-8298.
