Brehm's Bi-Annual Parent's Weekend Goes Off Without a Hitch

Recently, Brehm School held it's bi-annual Parent's Weekend. The weekend included some new and favorite events such as: a college fair for students with learning disabilities, "Brehm-Family" silent art auction, spring banquet and talent show.

Parents, faculty and staff dubbed this year's banquet as "the best ever."

Students, parents, faculty and staff enjoy a social hour, complete with a silent art auction. Auction donations were created by faculty and students.

Assistant Director Brian Brown acted as M.C. to a crowd of more than 300.

Brehm Food Services please all with a wide
array of food, desserts and beverages.

First year student, Elizabeth, performs a song

and excerpt from a favorite musical.

Brehm's very own Irish step-dancer, Austen,

is too fast for the naked eye.

Top notch performances all around for this year's Talent Show.

Brehm student Sarah received acclamations from the audience

for being the first student to ever to M.C. the Talent
Show portion of the evening.

What a wonderful weekend! As a first-time Brehm parent, I so enjoyed the camarderie and suport shown between students and students and between students and staff. The sessions were informative for parents, the paintball exhibit demonstrated the students'tremendous concentration and strategic skills and talent show was really fun. As parents, the more we see our kids take on and master, the happier we are. I'm looking forward to the fall weekend! Andrea Pauls Backman

What is Brehm?

Brehm is an accredited junior-senior high school. A family style boarding school for students, grades 6 through 12, with complex learning disabilities.

OPTIONS Program at Brehm serves post high school students with learning disabilities who need to further develop academic and social skills required for success in college, vocational/technical school, and the workplace.

Brehm Preparatory School Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, offers a unique holistic program that individually addresses each student’s academic, emotional, and social needs.

Brehm uses the term “complex” learning disabilities in recognition that students experience difficulties in multiple areas of functioning. Brehm’s holistic program focuses on the combined academic, social and emotional effects of having a learning disability.

Our students often have multiple diagnoses affecting their performance with the core issue of having a language-based etiology. We recognize the combined effects of LD/ADD, language based processing issues, executive function issues and the social and psychological implications of not being successful in an academic environment. Brehm offers direct interventions for students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, NLD, aspergers, anxiety disorder, tourettes, auditory processing disorder, speed of processing disorders and interventions requiring behavioral and emotional support as it relates to academic issues.
