About
The Otto Specht School offers an adapted Waldorf curriculum designed to meet the needs of students with social and sensory sensitivities, developmental delays, and learning challenges. We provide developmentally appropriate academic and artistic curricula in small, individualized class settings. Artistic activities - speech and movement, visual and musical - are integral to our classroom activities, as are practical skills such as cooking, handwork, woodworking, farming, and animal care.

We work with our students from educational and developmental models based primarily on the Waldorf philosophy. Treatment approaches include language stimulation through play-based social interaction, use of verbal words as well as signs, gestures, and AAC.
