Spiritos School "Spirit with an Operating System" |
The history of Spiritos School follows the history of Richmond Therapy Consultants and its founder Janet Lachowsky, MIS OTR.. Richmond Therapy Consultants was founded in 1989 to provide a different type of therapy to the children of central Virginia with a different focus. As a result central Virginia’s first freestanding clinic for the treatment of children with Sensory Integration Dysfunction was born. A school focusing in the special needs of autistic and developmentally delayed children soon followed. Spiritos School is a non- aversive, positive behavioral support school united in the belief that all students deserve a chance to shine and through the use of creative, intrinsically motivating programs and therapies each student will be provided that opportunity. The bedrock of Spiritos School philosophy is through the facilitation of intrinsic motivation and specialized creative programming individuals with autism and developmental delay will experience a life enriched with personal fulfillment and positive integration within society. “I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent work you have done with Matthew. The commitment, caring and positive reinforcement given by all has made a difference for my son” Vivian D |
