Educating Adolescents With Brain Injuries

Established more than two decades ago, Ivy Street School is a Brookline, Massachusetts, institution that offers adolescents with neurological disorders such as brain injuries a positive learning environment. The school’s experienced faculty members work with students and their families to develop ways of managing their conditions and the accompanying problematic behaviors. Ivy Street School therapists and teachers place an emphasis on building a sense of independence among students as they move toward adulthood. The school is led by Ron Allen, a board-certified behavior analyst with a doctoral degree in psychology. He instructs at Simmons College on applied behavior analysis.
