FAQ
Will Lunch be provided?
Lunch will need to be provided from home each day for your student due to not having a kitchen in our facility. However, a refrigerator and microwave will be available.
What are the age groups and or grades you will be serving?
Our age group will consist of 10-16 years of age.
What programs do you offer this year?
We have a full time schedule at this time.
Which behaviors align with our school's values and which do not?
We embrace a wide range of behaviors at our school. However, behaviors characterized by consistent aggression—such as hitting, biting, kicking, throwing objects, destroying property, and spitting—fall beyond our capacity to support. We understand that behavior is a form of communication, often rooted in misunderstanding or inflexibility. Additionally, we acknowledge that isolated incidents resulting in larger disruptions may occur and are not necessarily indicative of a child's typical conduct.
To assess whether we can effectively support your child, we need to understand your family's unique circumstances. Initiate a conversation with us, share insights about your child, and ask any questions you may have. We're committed to collaborating with you to foster your child's success.
At UF Learning Academy, we can assist students in acquiring certain self-help skills, such as tying shoes, dressing themselves, and developing other independent abilities. However, we lack the resources and facilities necessary to accommodate high-needs supports like diaper changes or feeding tubes.
Transparency is fundamental to our approach, and we are dedicated to providing clear information to families seeking additional resources and support. Please note that our ability to assist with potty training depends on staffing availability and the child's age. We prioritize the safety and comfort of both our staff and students in all circumstances.
Do you allow my child's therapist into the facility so that they can work with my child?
Certainly! Certain children may require additional one-on-one support to navigate behaviors and social skills effectively.
