Welcome to Aurora Day School

Welcome to Aurora Day School!

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the Aurora Day School website. We hope you will find that it reflects our passion to fulfill the special needs of exceptional children. You will find extensive information about our educational and behavioral programs which will help you determine if placement at Aurora Day School is in the best interest of your student.

Our major driving behavioral teaching tool is based on the Resiliency Theory. Extensive professional research has been done on resiliency in the last twenty years. Our goal is to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of exceptional children by helping them build their social competence, problem-solving skills, increasing their autonomy and encouraging their sense of purpose and future, which are the core traits of resiliency. All of our staff have been trained in the Resiliency Theory and incorporate it into every facet of the day to day program.

We all know that education is a key component in a child’s development. When a child has special needs, effective special education is the doorway to a bright future.

Sincerely,

Brian Shipman, M.ED
Director of Education
