Chela: The Otto Specht School 2/22/2022

If you were to design the perfect school for kids on the spectrum, this might be it! Based on Rudolph Steiner principles of Waldorf Education, this K-12 gem is located in Rockland County, NY, just outside NYC. Listen in to learn why families have moved here, and even commute to take advantage of its idyllic setting, supportive, yet rich academics, and hands on learning, that meets the needs of students with developmental delays, social and sensory sensitivities, and learning challenges. They provide developmentally appropriate and artistic curricula in small, individualized class settings. Artistic activities — speech and movement, visual and musical — are integral to classroom activities, as are practical skills such as cooking, weaving, wood- and metalworking, farming and animal care. https://www.ottospechtschool.org
