 Distinct Abilities Academic Program (DAAP) has two locations in the greater Houston area; Clear Lake and Alvin. We are a school where children of all abilities 6 weeks through 12 years, can build a solid foundation in which they can explore and discover their own "distinct ability" through working together. Distinct Abilities provides each child with an individualized program in language, mathematics, science and cultural curriculum in the classroom while encouraging team work and developing socialization and self-led direction. This environment provides each child the opportunity to explore his/her surroundings and share in the joy of mentoring children while still learning from others. All this is offered in full inclusion classrooms. Our classroom offers children exposure to the five domains; Physical, Social, Cognitive, Communicative and Adaptive in an advanced academic setting allowing children to explore these areas at a pace conducive to their own personal growth. All children learn differently. Our curriculum has specific units designed to target these learning differences so children may achieve a high level of understanding of their environment. This enables them to establish self-direction while grasping academic concepts. Our classrooms offer the same academic opportunities to children with Down syndrome, Autism and other developmental delays which ultimately lead to success in the social world. The individualized attention to each child's specific needs in this program is vital to their personal success. The goal for DAAP is to offer a personal approach with each family, so every child’s specific needs can be met. Our staff will love your children and create a lasting bond with your family. We, as early child educators, in a partnership with parents, will continue to explore new ways we can help all children.
