Cupertino Academy

Cupertino Academy is a Private Day School for students on the spectrum.  It features professional training, therapeutic services, parental support, client advocacy and a cutting edge private school for students who are neuro divergent grades K-12.  It is the only school in the Verde Valley located in Cottonwood, Arizona that specializes in Autism.  We utilize RDI principles and sensory integration techniques. We concentrate on teaching life and transition to employment skills.

RESOURCES

OUR SPECIALIZED SERVICES

Cupertino Academy was created out of recognition of the difficulties persons with Autism face in acquiring academic knowledge, social and life skills, as well as learning to communicate and self-regulate.

With the caveat: ”all persons are unique,” there is no road map or instruction manual that parents, siblings, educators, caregivers, professionals-including Doctors, nurses, EMTs and police can use that allows communication and cooperation to occur.

Based on these premises, Cupertino Academy was created as a 501-c3 non-profit organization to give the individual with a disability, their families, services providers and the community at large, a resource center that provides:

  1. A School
  2. Therapists
  3. An advocacy/tutoring agency
  4. Training and resources
  5. Ongoing development or acquisition of any other resource our customers need to foster their independence and integration into their social environments.
