School mission
Summit Academy is one of the leading schools for autism in Western New York, providing evidence-based instruction with a focus on the principles of applied behavior analysis.
Our students truly love coming to school! That’s because our faculty and staff have created a supportive, sensory-friendly environment tailored to students’ developmental needs.
Individual attention is key to helping students achieve the highest level of personal growth and independence. Our instructional team works with the school district and parents/caregivers to develop an individualized educational program (IEP) based on the student’s learning style, capabilities, and strengths. Speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other services are often included.
Summit Academy has been designated a School of Excellence by the National Association of Special Education Teachers.
