Special Education School in Galveston County

Oasis is a small and intimate private school that supports each child’s individual development and differences.

Oasis Academy is a therapeutic private school for children with neurodevelopmental delays. We believe in the power of relationships and emotional connections to fuel each child’s individual development. At Oasis, we know learning comes about through relationships, curiosity, and connection, and DIR® principles are our basis of teaching. Students engage in activities that build their foundational academic skills in relation to the real world and their developmental capacities and differences. The DIR® model allows us to integrate each child's emotional, social, intellectual, and educational goals while considering their unique developmental profile to support behavioral and emotional challenges. Academics is not our main priority; we believe in supporting early developmental capacities, the child’s sensory system, and the communication required for learning.

Have you ever heard of gestalt language development? Did you know that echolalia has meaning, and most autistic children use it to communicate? At Oasis, we use the natural language acquisition framework to support our students' language development. To learn more about gestalt language development click here.

The Oasis Academy is a year-round program open Monday- Thursday from 9-2. Our students participate in daily exercise, weekly karate, art, music therapy, swim lessons, and monthly community outings. Enrollment is based on seat availability, and the family must undergo an interview, evaluation, and therapy process before being accepted. Parent coaching is vital and a part of each child’s therapeutic program.

Students can be enrolled for two days a week or four days a week.

Tuition is $1,200 per month for four days.
