A Learning Disability Shouldn’t DETOUR a Child’s Academic Success. We Can Help.
DETOUR
For 28 years, Banyan School has helped students who learn differently establish the roots necessary to grow by focusing on the development and reinforcement of the reading, language and communication skills critical for academic success. With small classes, individualized attention, integrated assistive technology and a talented, dedicated staff, we are committed to establishing the foundation that students need for learning and social-emotional development.
