Supported. Transparent. Accessible.

Why we started ICAN Academy

Our clinical team has sat in countless IEP meetings. We’ve celebrated wins with families; and we’ve also seen the gaps.

We’ve seen:

  • Children who qualify for services but don’t receive enough intensity to make meaningful progress

  • Schools that want to help but simply don’t have the staffing to meet every child’s actual needs

  • Private schools that are not equipped (or sometimes willing) to accept children with behavioral support needs

Families are being asked to choose between convenience and progress. When children are dysregulated, the focus is to minimize disruptions to the classroom. This often comes at the cost of meaningful learning for students who need more from the adults around them. In yearly IEP meetings, that support is debated and the actual decision comes down to a school district liason, who may have never met the child. Access to adequate support in an IEP becomes a luxury instead of what it should be: the baseline.

We believed there had to be a better way.

So we built one.

❊ Testimonials

We feel so lucky that we found this center for our daughter. Without their support and the amazing team there, we wouldn’t have known how to help her grow.
