Newmeadow

Established in 1982 by Dr. Thomas and Donna Funiciello in Glenville, the school began with just 13 children and one classroom. Over the years, it has evolved into a vital resource for thousands of preschoolers with diverse special needs and abilities, serving families throughout the Capital Region. Newmeadow currently operates in two locations, Clifton Park and Fort Edward, offering integrated classroom, self-contained classrooms, a dedicated ABA center, a speech center, an occupational and physical therapy room, and outdoor play spaces. Their goal is to enhance the lives of children by equipping them for both learning and life through the implementation of their Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program. This includes the use of self-contained and integrated classroom instruction along with all necessary support services. Newmeadow's ABA Clinic is a comprehensive program addressing autism, utilizing proven techniques in addition to applied behavior analysis. They strive to ensure that every child actively engages in observation, learning, and responding, with a strong focus on language, communication, social interaction, play skills, and fostering independence.
