Ocean Academy provides programs for children 3-13 years old.  Preschool Disabled classes for 3-5 year olds participate in a curriculum focusing on pre-readiness experiences, language development, physical, sensory, and perceptual motor integration, social skills and school adjustment.  Instructional staff in K – 8th grades deliver core curriculum content at the kindergarten pre-readiness, primary readiness, and elementary levels.  There is a sensory integration program for students diagnosed within the Autistic/PDD spectrum with an emphasis on building relationships and reciprocal communication.  An eclectic, integrated approach fluidly incorporates a total communication approach (sign language, augmentative communication, PECS, assistive technology, etc.), DIR/Floortime, Applied Behavioral Analysis, and structured Social Skills instruction.
