Beyond Four Walls

At the Otto Specht School, we work to discover each child's path to lifelong learning, offering a variety of educational programs designed to meet the needs of students with developmental delays, social and sensory sensitivities, and learning challenges. We have looked beyond both typical and special educational models to provide an extraordinary education to those who need it most.

As a parent I could speak about Otto Specht’s unique pedagogy and supportive environment which is unlike any other educational experience my son could have. But more important to me is that my son loves his school, he loves going and misses it when he isn’t there. And the teachers and faculty at Otto Specht love him. Really, what more could a parent ask?
— Roger Williams, Parent
“It is really able to adapt to each individual child in a way that I have never seen any other school do.”
— Mary Holland, OSS Parent
