The Yellin Center Recognizes Brehm School

The Yellin Center is an assessment and student care organization dedicated to helping all learners experience genuine success in school and in life. The Yellin Center is affiliated with the New York University School of Medicine and directed by Paul B. Yellin, M.D., FAAP. The Yellin Center published an article praising Brehm School today.

The Yellin Center has been concerned about the scarcity of boarding schools for students with complex learning needs. The article points out that many children don't have just one reading or language issue — that social and emotional issues often come into play.

The article compliments Brehm for it's unique Holistic educational program (fulfilling students academic, social and emotional needs):

"...too many of the best private schools for student with significant learning needs specifically limit their programs to students with "language based learning disabilities". That's fine if your child has straightforward reading or language difficulties , but leaves very few settings for the many children whose needs don't fit neatly into this category.

We recently had a terrific conversation with Dr. Richard Collins, Executive Director and Headmaster of the Brehm School, a private boarding school in Carbondale, Illinois, for students in grades 6-12. Brehm works with students with complex needs, who may have difficulties in more than one area of learning and whose learning difficulties are complicated by emotional issues and limited social skills. Their impressive curriculum includes integrated instruction to address all areas of deficit while building academic success."
