The School for Adaptive & Integrative Learning at Ferncliff Manor

The School for Adaptive & Integrative Learning at Ferncliff Manor is a New York State Education Department approved private, nonpublic school program serving a population of residential and day students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. Located in Ardsley, NY, the practice provides a wide range of supports and services, including specialized instruction, intensive staff to student ratios, positive behavior interventions and supports, social services, rehabilitative therapies (Speech, Occupational, and Physical), dietary programming, and living accommodations. Their unique integrative approach to learning and development ensures that each department works in concert to deliver a seamless education for all learners. With a highly supportive staff to student ratio, students benefit from living, learning, working, and growing in smaller groups, with a greater number of staff to help them realize progress and achieve successful outcomes. The practice serves school-aged students from 5 to 21 years of age, most of whom present with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis among other concurrent disabilities. Their goal is to assist each child in achieving their greatest personal potential each day as they learn, grow, and thrive in a welcoming setting among their peers.
