History

Imagine Academy is a school for children with autism ages 5-21, located in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 2005, Imagine was initiated by parents of affected children. Tired of outdated approaches and rigid schools, these parents banded together to start a school which would encompass all proven methodologies. These include, but are not limited to Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Floortime, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Music Therapy, Swim Therapy and Yoga. The founders believe that an integrated approach gives children with autism the best chance to reach their fullest potential by building a strong partnership between school and parents. Consistency and continuity in all environments ensures their success.

 

Imagine is currently at full capacity with 15 students and 23 staff, a 1:1 ratio. Plans are under way to expand into a much larger facility. The new facility will be approximately 12,000 square feet, encompassing state-of-the-art therapy rooms, classrooms and a swimming pool. It is scheduled to open by March, 2010 and will be a dream come true for many families affected by autism.
