St. Philip the Apostle Church, in a collaborative effort with parishioners and parents of children with special needs, has designed a program suited to fit the unique religious needs of this special population. Students meet on Sundays. Time depends on the sacrament the student is working on. Please call for additional information.
Modifications and accommodations will be made for students that are preparing for their Holy Sacraments. Our dedicated staff will strive to teach, inspire and encourage children with special needs by using a comprehensive multi-sensory hands-on approach.

Our Approach
When working with special needs children it is important to incorporate lessons addressed for all types of learners: audio, visual, kinesthetic. Our lessons are clear and concise. We will use frequent verbal praise we to encourage learning. We will always emphasize abilities and not DIS-abilities. We will use hands on activities that reinforce the lesson and incorporate all senses. Our lessons will reach visual, auditory and tactile learners. Songs will be used to summarize and reinforce lessons.
