My Child
My child doesn't communicate with words. How can Journey School support my child?
At Journey School, students’ verbal abilities vary. We want to learn the “languages” of our students and help them connect with people around them! Our staff is well versed in alternative communication systems such as various AAC systems, sign language, and word boards.

Journey School welcomes children with all abilities, including but not limited to autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and dyslexia.
What if my child isn't potty trained?
We have students at every level of bathroom independence, and our staff compassionately meets each of their needs.
Religion
Do you have specific religious affiliation?
Journey School is not affiliated with a specific denomination. We believe that serving God and His kingdom work is our highest calling, and we want to pursue Jesus in all we do.
Finding a place for our son to fit in and be valued ad loved has been the best, but it’s also so comforting to be surrounded by other families who understand your everyday reality of having a child with special needs and unique learning differences. Journey is such a special place.
