A Letter from the Assistant Director of Admissions

I would like to introduce myself as Brehm School's new Assistant Director of Admissions. In this position, I will be working closely with Donna Collins, Director of Admissions and Dr. Richard Collins, Executive Director.

For the last five years, I have been a part of the Brehm family, working as a substitute teacher, teacher's aide and transition specialist. Throughout this time I have seen Brehm's campus and student population grow, becoming more diverse and distinguished. As the Assistant Director of Admissions, I will be able to continue to see the growth of Brehm and our current and future students.

I look forward to moving forward with this coming school year and working one-on-one with new old old members of the Brehm family.

Until then, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Richard L. Ventura, M.S.

Assistant Director of Admissions

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.
