Our Mission

The Tiegerman mission of “teaching the extraordinary” reflects the organization’s goal to substantively transform the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities from preschool throughout adulthood.  We are committed to providing an enduring opportunity for exceptional instruction, education and support to ensure that the children and adults that we serve achieve their potential in life.  We believe that each individual is extraordinary and through our extraordinary efforts they will achieve a more independent and successful future.

 

 

Tiegerman Schools are special education schools for students with special needs ranging from PreK through High School. We have campuses in Nassau County and Queens and serve students throughout Long Island and the five boroughs. We have innovative programs that address the needs of children with Developmental Disabilities, Learning Disabilities, Language Disorders, Hearing Disorders, Reading Difficulties/Delays, Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia. Our team of educators develops a custom program for each student. Our students also receive specialized therapeutic services that support their unique needs including speech/language therapy, physical/occupational therapy, counseling, adaptive physical education, and computer-based learning instruction.

 

 

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.
