The Phoenix Center Accredited private, special needs school providing customized programs built around the whole child.

The Phoenix Center is an accredited, not-for-profit school serving the educational, behavioral and therapeutic needs of students ages 5-21 with autism, multiple disabilities, behavioral and intellectual disabilities. Our customized evidence-based programs—developed for each student—are anchored by a hands-on, real-life, community-based instruction model. Our accredited classroom and community-based instructional programs are built around the “whole child.” Our NJ Dept. of Education-approved school works closely with districts, professionals, and parents to develop programs (communication, behavioral and social) tailored to meet the specific academic and functional needs of each child. Our teachers and related service providers are highly qualified, certified and/or licensed. We employ a range of educational and therapeutic methods to meet each child at his/her particular stage of development and help students prepare for life beyond The Phoenix Center, which is at the core of our mission. By pulling from each child’s innate gifts, we help them rise, like the ancient phoenix, above their challenges to build confidence and achieve greater fulfillment and success in the world.

OCTOBER IS AAC AWARENESS MONTH! 🗣️💙

Check out one of our students and Brew Crew members getting interviewed by our News 12 reporter Jennifer using his AAC device with support from his Speech Therapist- Grayce H ! He’s doing a great job using his device to ask and answer questions👏🏻👏🏻

Have you heard of AAC? 🤔

AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. AAC is any way a person communicates without relying on speech alone. It can include gestures, signs, pictures, communication boards, or speech-generating devices to help people express their wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings.

As we celebrate AAC Awareness Month, let’s spread awareness, promote acceptance, and help create a world where everyone has a voice and the opportunity to be heard! 💙💙💙
