Nassau BOCES Jerusalem Avenue School

Loved it ! caring staff ! Everyday we got a report home discussing behavior and not only behavior work that the children are working on in school. My son smiled everyday going

Unlike the anonymous person who posted the bad review, I have had nothing but a wonderful experience with this school. My daughter has been attending since she was 3 years old (preschool) and is about to start 1st grade. From the first moment we met the principal I knew this was the school. At that point my daughter was verbal, but very few words, and not really communicating at all, mostly echolalia. She also had alot of sensory issues. She didn't like holding hands very much, but she immediately took Amy's hand as we walked down the hall on that first visit. We met with Amy for almost an hour, she answered all of our questions. I felt relieved! This was the school. It felt right. Amy let us come back a few weeks later to see the school again and answered more of my questions. Within the first few months, my daughters speech and language grew tremendously. It was miraculous really. By spring she could answer simple questions and we were finally able to potty train! (She was 4). This was big because until that point, I feared she would never be able to answer me. Amy has ALWAYS made herself available to me to answer any questions, concerns or issues I may have. She cares about each student, and even seems to know every student by name, their strengths and their struggles. Her staff is excellent. Each year I have developed a great relationship/partnership with the teachers and we communicate almost daily. When it is time for my daughter to transition or leave this school, I will cry hard tears, because she has blossomed so much here, and I am forever thankful for Amy and her amazing team!

Really appreciate all the love and compassion given to my son since joining JAB back in January 2017. My son improved so much... It honestly blew us away. Thank you guys so much!

We absolutely love the school and the progress my son has made since starting at this school. The staff is amazing.

Best school my autistic child been in since his diagnosis
