Lexington Services! So They Can

AUTISM AND SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY

Our Pre-K-12 school educates children with Autism spectrum disorder. We provide the key components for every student to develop their academic, behavioral, and social skills by tailoring to every child’s needs and building a foundation to achieve their highest potential.

Lexington also provides an After School Program, Adult Program, and a Summer Program for individuals with Developmental Disabilities. Members can also take advantage of several types of therapies in a center or in a home environment. Transportation may also be available at our Phoenix, Mesa, or Show Low locations

“I couldn’t be happier with Lexington. It’s more than a school with great teachers and caregivers, it’s been a new life for my son.”

Richard Roe, Parent | Mesa Campus

“The Life Academy is probably the best school that my daughter has been in and is the only school that she looks forward to going to and no longer fights me to stay home.”

Sharron Carstens, Parent | Show Low Campus

“Lexington has opened many doors for our son and we believe it will only continue to grow into adulthood.”

Jennifer Barker, Parent | Mesa Campus

THERAPIES

Through our therapies and services, we create a fun and engaging atmosphere for individuals with autism and other special needs while empowering members for daily success.

SPEECH THERAPY

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Occupational Therapy

Skilled Occupational Therapy activities significantly help to assist students and individuals who struggle with fine motor, visual motor, emotional regulation, and sensory processing difficulties.

FAQ

Lexington specializes in autism, but we work with families to see if their child’s needs can be met.  Through our unique education process we individualize and modify the curriculum to meet the specific needs of all students with many different types of disabilities.

ESA funds.
The Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program is an account administered by The Arizona Department of Education that is funded by state tax dollars to provide educational options for qualified Arizona students. By opting out of the public school system, parents can seek a range of alternative educational services, such as private school or home-based education. For more information please visit the Arizona Department of Education website at https://www.azed.gov/esa

STO Scholarships

Public or Charter School can also pay your child’s tuition. If your child has not received adequate services at a Public or Charter school, you may approach the school and ask for your child’s service to be provided through Lexington Life Academy.

The paperwork required to register for our services depends on the program. Like most schools, we require a Birth Certificate, current Immunization Records, copy of the Guardian’s Driver’s License, current MET and IEP, ESA or STO notification and a completed enrollment packet.

Our schools have Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapies on staff. They work in the classroom with students to service their needs while at school. The SLP and OT provide services in the classroom setting and collaborate with the teachers. Also, we offer Speech and OT services through DDD on campus during the school day. These services are 1:1 and scheduled through Lexington Therapy Services.

The first step is to come and tour one of our campuses to see what we have to offer. We have a tuition specialist at each campus that can walk you through every step of the process to get accepted for either the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA), or a Student Tuition Organization (STO). Once you are accepted for ESA or STO’s enrollment is quick and easy.
