At Aspire Academy, Teachers work collaboratively with our Board Certified Behaviour Analysts and Lead Therapists to guide the work of our Educational Therapists and keep our classrooms running smoothly. Our unique approach to group learning incorporates a number of different teaching styles (i.e. small group, triadic, dyadic, one-on-one) and requires our team to work in a variety of capacities each day.
