Rocky Point Academy offers effective developmental programs for individuals struggling with:
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Attention/Focusing
- Executive Functioning

Experience has proven to us that those on the autism spectrum, those with ADD/HD and those struggling with executive functioning can develop far beyond the usual predictions/expectations when provided with the missing pieces.
The Rocky Point Academy programs and workshops teach individuals how to systematically fill in the partial or completely missing developmental pieces. New learning is constructed upon the participant’s prior understanding and experience and builds a foundation for the next piece needed. This creates a solid framework that naturally and easily opens the door for:
