SunBridge Schools and SAIL Form Partnership

Special to The Truth

SunBridge Schools (the former Kids Unlimited Academy) have formed a partnership with the School for Autistically Impaired Learners (SAIL). SunBridge, a third-yearcharter school in Springfield Township, is providing the opportunity for SAIL’s autistic students to be included in the traditional classroom. This unique partnership removes the autistic student from the self-contained special needs environment and allows them full access to regular education.

Marion Boss, PhD, founded the SAIL program and has long served the autistic community by providing one-on-one academic and behavioral

interactions between student and teacher. By partnering with SunBridge Schools, autistic students enrolled at SAIL ready for traditional teaching and learning will be included in the regular classroom. SunBridge has also on occasion identified their students who might be best served by the SAIL program.
 

“This cross-referenced partnership works in the best interest of all children to ensure their needs are properly met,” remarked Erica Pharis, the executive director of SunBridge Schools. “Both programs are provided at no charge to the families while program costs are shared between each facility.”

Pharis and Boss share a deep passion for serving special needs students and have collaborated very closely to develop this partnership. Neither is aware of a similar partnership transitioning students with autism into the traditional classroom after a period of intense one-on-one preparation.
