Environment
DMA will offer students on the spectrum an optimal learning environment specifically designed to meet diverse sensory needs, multiple modes of learning and will be structured to support students in both group and independent work.
Support
DMA students will have access to 1:1 instructional support in the classroom by highly qualified licensed educators and our unique co-location with a therapy provider ensures students have behavioral support from skilled clinicians utilizing a unique approach to ABA therapy.
Education
DMA’s education program will combine traditional instruction and supplementary onsite computer-based curriculum with hands-on components focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math (STEAM).
Program Overview
Dynamic Minds Academy is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) entity that will serve K-12 students on the autism spectrum. The DMA model will be the first in Indiana to fully integrate modern therapeutic practice with accredited public education.
DMA will provide an innovative choice for parents of students with ASD who desire a 48-week academic year and access to a public school education that is efficiently and effectively integrated with modern therapeutic services for their children.
While a school-based placement is appropriate for some students with autism, a therapy-based placement is appropriate for others and DMA takes the guess-work out of the equation, as parents no longer have to choose between behaviorally-appropriate therapies and public education. Dynamic Minds Academy is designed in partnership with a co-locating therapy provider to offer students with ASD evidence-based practices for personal growth within an optimal learning environment.
