Neurodiversity Success Center

                   

For more than 50 years, Hill Top has focused on educating neurodiverse students in grades 5-12 through its day and boarding programs. Hill Top's curriculum is designed to build a quality of self that includes self-recognition, self-advocacy, self-reliance, and self-confidence. Building on the mission of Hill Top, the Neurodiversity Success Center offers an opportunity for students and individuals outside the Hill Top Prep Community to participate in unique programming.

NSC programming offers supports to adolescents and young adults as they prepare for success in middle school school, high school, college, and beyond. Our programs provide individually designed and small group learning experiences to help maximize and harness unique learning styles. The NSC programming can aid in developing and strengthening academic, executive function, and social skills. Parent and family resources play an integral role in the program to reinforce acquired skills and techniques.

 

 
 
          The Neurodiversity Success Center offers 3 distinct programs: 
 
  • PEERS®: evidence-based social skills intervention program for motivated young
    people (11-26) who are interested in making and keeping friends, handling conflict and
    rejection, all while building self confidence (adapted from the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California-Los Angeles).
 
  • Executive Function Coaching:  helping school aged children improve cognitive processes, including
    but not limited to focus, attention, organization, planning, and self-regulation.
 
  • College Advising assisting high school students from the early stages of the college admissions
    process through the completion of the application.
