What they do

AT TIEGERMAN, OUR MISSION is to IDENTIFY CHILDREN WITH LANGUAGE and AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS EARLY to PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WHICH WILL PREPARE THEM for A WORLD FILLED WITH WORDS, SENTENCES, STORIES and MESSAGES. LANGUAGE is A SYMBOL SYSTEM; IT PROVIDES THE MEANS to REACH OUT to THE WORLD. IT is THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL THAT A CHILD MUST LEARN EARLY IN LIFE. LANGUAGE PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION for SOCIALIZING, READING, QUESTIONING, WRITING and THINKING. WE USE THE TIEGERMAN LANGUAGE METHOD (TLM) WHICH is DESIGNED to STIMULATE and CHALLENGE CHILDRENS LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT. WE BELIEVE THAT "LANGUAGE is EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE," SO OUR CHILDREN NEED to BE IMMERSED IN LANGUAGE ACTIVITIES to LEARN. WE TEACH CHILDREN to TALK IN ORDER to REACH THE PERSON INSIDE.TIEGERMAN is ALSO COMMITTED to INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THE UNIQUE NEEDS of THESE CHILDREN, SINCE THEY ARE OFTEN MISDIAGNOSED and MISPLACED IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.
