We are so pleased that you have taken the time to visit our website.At Elsen Academy, we understand vulnerability, whether it is as a parent or the child with special needs. We understand your quest for answers and seeking reassurance that all is well. We know you feel scared and alone on this journey and are unsure how to deal with your child. These labels for your child are hurtful and insulting: “over-sensitive”, “learning disabled”, “having special needs”, “being impaired”, “delayed” “not having normal development”, ”autistic traits”, “ADHA”, “naughty”, etc.  Those words don’t exist in our vocabulary.   At Elsen we appreciate your child’s difference and abilities and shape and mould them into something truly beautiful – making your child feel perfect in every way.
