Arrival & Settle
Students arrive at the car line and transition into their classroom. Low-stimulation rooms and consistent routines help every student start the day grounded.
Day In The Life
One day, one team, one student at a time.
There's no template — every student's day is shaped by their IEP, their therapy plan, and where they are in their growth. But the rhythm is consistent.
Therapy & Academics, Woven Together
Therapy and instruction don't happen in separate buildings — they happen in the same hallway, often the same hour. ABA therapists, classroom teachers, and support staff move with students through the day.
Group Instruction
With a 3:1 student-to-teacher ratio and class caps at 12, every student gets sustained attention. Breakout spaces are always nearby for students who need a calmer environment.
Support Services
Speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and mental-health support are embedded in the school day. Families don't have to coordinate across systems — it's all here.
Vocational Lab (Bigs)
Older students rotate through real-world skill work in our therapeutic vocational lab — building toward independence and post-secondary readiness.
Dismissal
The day ends the way it began: with routine, calm, and a team that knows your student.
Want a Closer Look?
The best way to see a day at DMA is to be in the building. We schedule tours for waitlisted families as slots open.
