MDE School for Children with Special Needs Open House
Marietta, Georgia, December 20, 2011
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Open House Slated for MDE School for Children with Special Needs Feb. 8, 2012
MDE SCHOOL– Where everyone is special!
The MDE School will host an Open House on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 7:00 PM at its facilities in Marietta, Georgia. The MDE School educates special needs children K-8th grade who are diagnosed with developmental disabilities and special needs, or need a different learning style and individual attention. The MDE School is currently accepting new students for the 2012-2013 schoolyear. The Open House will offer the opportunity to introduce interested parties to the facilities and staff, and inform them about the curriculum and long-range plans for the school.
MDE School was established in 2009 by Mindy Elkan, a speech-language pathologist and owner and Clinical Director of Greater Atlanta Speech and Language Clinics (GASLC). Mindy, along with her late husband, Marc, had long recognized a need for a school for children with special needs. Named in memory of Marc, the “MDE” stands for Motivation, Dedication, and Excellence, which is what students experience at the MDE School. Dedicated, loving, nurturing and compassionate educators will be there to motivate and guide every child to achieve excellence at their own pace so they can reach their maximum potential.
MDE School is extremely proud of the accomplishments made in its first three years of existence, including more than tripling its enrollment. MDE is accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission as a certified provider of educational services to children grades K-8th who have different learning needs. The student-to-teacher ratio remains at 4-to-1 with a highly skilled, certified and dedicated staff of teachers and therapists with advanced degrees and many years of experience with children with special needs.
MDE’s facility includes multiple classrooms and specialized areas for physical, occupational and music therapy. The MDE campus shares a facility with Greater Atlanta Speech and Language Clinics (GASLC), which is a highly-regarded, full-service provider of Speech, Occupational and Physical Therapies. The therapies available through GASLC are incorporated into the MDE School students’ daily schedule, thus providing additional assistance and support as needed. Open House attendees will be able to take a tour and see how well the two facilities interact with each other and meet the therapists and staff.
GASLC has garnered an excellent reputation over the past 29 years and we believe that the MDE School is following in that same manner. It is a place where parents can feel that their children are educated in a nurturing and loving environment where their intellectual, emotional and physical growth are challenged and rewarded in a successful manner.
The MDE School is located at 1000 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite A100, Marietta, GA, 30068. Those interested in attending the Open House on Wednesday, February 8, or with any questions, may call 770-977-9457 or 770-971-4633 to RSVP by February 1, 2012.
