Broadstep Academy provides exceptional instructional programming that promotes the development of our students’ ability to navigate skills necessary for academic success and autonomy.

Our learning environments are designed to provide opportunities for growth in academics, self-help communication, social development, transition, vocation, and independence through multi-sensory, individualized, and small group learning experiences.
