PDD-NOS is pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified. It is a diagnosis where a child is on the autism spectrum, but not falling within any of the existing specific categories of autism. Children may have some symptoms of one PDD and some symptoms of another, but not enough to receive a diagnosis of Autism or Asperger’s. As a result, they receive the catch-all diagnosis of PDD-NOS.
At Cumberland Academy of Georgia we understand the needs of children with PDD-NOS. We provide an excellent education opportunities with our small student/faculty ratio and differentiated instruction strategies delivered by our Georgia state certified faculty. Our academic and social curriculum encourages the development of life skills essential in becoming independent and self-sufficient adults. We strive for positive youth development in small class room setting where a structured day, along with accountability, assessment of outcomes, and opportunities for social skill building is the key elements for positive outcomes.
