A UNIQUE APPROACH
TO EDUCATION

The Arbor’s program is based on the belief that all children have an extraordinary capacity to learn and will realize their greatest potential in a structured, purposeful environment. See how our unique approach to education makes us the most comprehensive special needs education program in the Houston area.

What makes The Arbor unique is our commitment to accepting students as young as 6 weeks through 18 years old, regardless of their diagnosis or lack thereof. As such, our students represent a wide range of cognitive and physical delays.

MEET OUR STUDENTS

Jaxson Siegel

Since my trip to Disney, I have a newfound need for speed and love roller coasters! I’m solving simple addition word problems.

Jillian Gordon

Some of my favorite things are swimming, giggling, and spending time with my cousins! I am learning to tell time to the minute.

Leo Rigoni

I love to swim and a good water balloon fight! I enjoy helping to set the table for lunch at school and also helping around the house.

Morgan Marshall

I am very ticklish and find getting my hair washed absolutely hilarious! I am learning how to complete simple puzzles.

WHAT SETS US APART

Student-teacher ratios never exceed 2:1, with some classrooms accommodating students with a 3:2 ratio
A 100% individualized curriculum with goals to meet each student’s needs
Activity-based approach to intervention by attaching objectives to routine activities
A whole-child learning approach that includes educational and therapeutic goals in the areas of cognitive communication and fine and gross motor skills
Passionate educators who invest in the students and partner with their entire family to help every child thrive

“The Arbor teachers, therapists, and administrators work tirelessly to achieve the kind of everyday miracles upon which these kids depend to continue learning, growing, and striving toward their goals. They skillfully and selflessly give sorely needed education and ability to children on whom so many other doors have closed.”
