DMS Day Program Gives Children a Chance to Succeed

Dakota Memorial School has a limited number of openings for Day Students—students who are living at home but benefit from the highly individualized instruction we are able to provide. Many children in our Day Program transition back to their home schools after they develop the skills they need to be successful. We work very closely with the parents, student, and home school to ensure they have the support they need to learn and thrive as they make the transition. Others find that Dakota Memorial School provides the environment and support their child needs to be successful in school—each year, we celebrate the graduations of students who earn their high school diplomas from Dakota Memorial School.

 

Words just can't adequately express our gratitude for the work of all of you!!! Our family relationships are much healthier, as are our son's school work skills, due to the intense work that he did with all of you there. I know that many times it is challenging and thankless, but what you and the rest of the staff do matters so much!!
