Future in IT?
Our IT Manager, Mr. Smith, had a student assistant while he repaired several laptops. Jomar enjoys working with technology and may find a future in IT. “Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.” ― Bill Gates

Digitability
Students in our elementary class saved money using Digitability* to purchase handmade stuffed animals. Digitability* is an innovative and comprehensive program empowering students with autism or other cognitive disabilities to learn financial literacy. Students virtually set a budget and pay bills. They also learn time and task management within their accounts. These four special students “saved” enough money to purchase a very special handmade stuffed animal made by our own Ms. B. (Consumer Science Teacher).

Brain science teaches us that behavior is not categorized by being good or bad; it is a question of being healthy or unhealthy.

Mission Statement
Valley Day School is a private, non-profit, state-funded, special education school licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for students who are experiencing learning and/or adjustment difficulties.
Valley Day School serves children and young adults with behavioral, learning/developmental, and/or emotional problems, many of whom have serious learning difficulties and very challenging behaviors.
Valley Day School's educational program is based on our belief that each student possesses unique needs and strengths. An educational program that is individually prescribed for each student meets these needs. A multidisciplinary team approach coordinating knowledge and skills is used to assist students in reaching their greatest potential.
""Teaching Students the Tools for a Healthy Life""
