What kinds of children attend Avalon?
The majority of the children at The Avalon Academy have cerebral palsy. Some of the children are dependent on wheelchairs, others can walk if assisted. Most children who currently attend the core program do so as a full-time educational option. Children who attend the afternoon program are either in full-inclusion classes during regular school hours or attend The Bridge School, a local Non-Public School. Many of the afternoon program students are graduates of the full-time program who have moved on to regular school classrooms. While Avalon readily caters for needs such as tube-feeding and routine seizure management, we are currently unable to accept students who require complex nursing care at school.
