Working to Prepare Students for Active Participation
Our signature strength is an individualized, holistic philosophy and drive for excellence. Each child benefits from team collaboration–the shared expertise of teachers, therapists, nurses, and a social worker who tailor our program to fit the need of the child. If our first approach isn't successful, we're ready to try something new. Our communication goes full circle, with information exchanged among the HMS team in a collaborative manner.
