Leolan Academy is a non profit, special school supporting children who have complex needs including autism.Leolan academy is committed to the development of each individual child’s abilities so that he or she may come to experience life to its full potential.

Background

I started the Leolan Academy because my own son (now already 27) was diagnosed with autism and I experienced it first hand how difficult it is to raise and educate such a child.

Approach

The Leolan Academy  approach provides structure, routine and a learning environment in which students truly flourish, with communication being a vital part of every student’s education.

Individual Attention

Small classes, arranged by age-group and ability, are overseen by a teacher and assistant.  Staff are qualified, experienced and expertly trained to meet the diverse needs of Leolan Academy's students through tailored programmes and 1:1 educational support. Staff work closely with children’s families and other professionals to achieve shared goals with a collective and consistent approach; maximizing children’s potential for success.

Support Us

The number of children diagnosed with autism continue to increase each year and, to date, research into the causes of autism has not provided us with a cure. Those of us who specialize in educating children with autism must rely on research-based programs that are proven to be effective. We work to minimize the characteristics of autism that set the children apart from their typically developing peers as we also teach skills that will allow them to have quality lives and to be contributing members of their communities. Please join us in this mission of hope for our children.
