About Tiegerman Community Services

Tiegerman Community Services offers adults with developmental disabilities a supportive and nurturing environment that promotes a lifetime of personal growth, learning and self-esteem. The program is designed to assist individuals with acquiring, retaining and improving their communication, socialization and the ability to interact with others in the community. Each individual has a Habilitation Plan that details desired person-centered outcomes so they can discover areas of interest and develop skills that may lead to a vocational path.

Tiegerman is a New York State approved non-public school program (K-12) for students with language disorders and developmental disabilities. Our programs focus on providing language-based learning for students to establish the foundation for their educational and social development and prepare them for a world filled with words, sentences, stories and messages. We focus on the relationship between language development and academic success, providing intensive language immersion and academic instruction.
