When we enroll a child at Southern Raised Learning, we enroll their parents. We believe it takes a village to successfully educate a child with special needs and we happily partner with our parents to ensure the success of their child.

A student who receives instruction at their level is a student who has high self-esteem and self-confidence.

Social Skills - Positive Action

Our social skills programming is both interactive and engaging. We build in numerous opportunities for students to practice their social skills across the curriculum. We also encourage parents to promote social opportunities where their skills can be used outside of the school setting. Skills like social functioning, listening, responsibility, personal space and emotions are a few of the valuable social skills we explore.
