The Montessori Method of education provides a nurturing, supportive environment for children of all abilities and learning styles. This includes children with special needs, learning differences in reading, writing, spelling and/or math; ADHD, asperger, and mild-to-moderate autism spectrum disorders.

Children learn in multi-age classes of similar developmental levels. This sustained connection creates a stable, predictable environment for adults and children alike. 

Montessori education recognizes that each child learns differently and at their own pace. The child's educational plan is matched to their unique developmental level, learning style, and interests. Combined with the principles of ABA Therapy, child will receive individualized instruction and progress through the curriculum at their own pace. They will be free from the pressure to meet formal standards of learning (such as grade-level benchmarks) at a predetermined rate, but will be challenged at the appropriate level in all areas of learning. 

Learning in an EIM classroom is multi-sensory and hands-on. Students learn by doing and are free to move about. This would help those who require a high level of physical activity or may have difficulty sustaining attention in a more traditional classroom setting. Additionally, the organization and structure of the EIM classroom helps children develop organizational and time management skills that lead to independence.
