Description
Tiegerman is a New York State approved non-public school program (K-12) for students with language disorders and developmental disabilities. Our programs focus on providing language-based learning for students to establish the foundation for their educational and social development and prepare them for a world filled with words, sentences, stories and messages. We focus on the relationship between language development and academic success, providing intensive language immersion and academic instruction.
Tiegerman Community Services (TCS) is a part of the Tiegerman family of programs. It was established to meet the needs of adults with developmental disabilities who were graduating from Tiegerman and/or other local high schools.
