Oakstone Academy is the birthplace of the Academic and Social Immersion Model, thanks to the research and practice of our founder, Dr. Rebecca Morrison. Our talented team of teachers, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, and classroom support staff have been practicing and perfecting this model for almost 20 years with students from preschool through high school.

We watch our students with and without ASD thrive in a setting built to respect and support all learners. We watch our students learn together, attend social events together, play sports together, and develop true friendships together. We watch preschoolers with ASD get invited to playdates at their friends’ homes. We watch elementary students play recess games with everyone in class participating, often without adult intervention. We watch high school students help each other study, persevere in sports, and travel the country together. We watch our graduates move to the world of college or work with skills to respect and care for all kinds of people. This is why we say immersion is greater than inclusion.
