Join Us at an Upcoming Info Session! 

Interested in our fall pilot program or want to learn more about our school? Join IPS cofounders Naina Chernoff & Hope Hohmann and our curriculum specialist, Ariel Matz, during either of our two info sessions this month. Please click on the dates to RSVP for either Tuesday, July 19 or Tuesday, July 26 from 2-3 pm. Both events will be held at the site of our fall pilot program, The PARC at Tysons (8508 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, VA 22182). 

Our 4-week program will be held weekdays from 9:30am-4pm at the PARC from October 3-31 and will offer 6 students the opportunity to explore carpentry and learn social and communication strategies. At the info sessions, we will preview our curriculum and answer your questions about how IPS plans on creating new paths for our students. Join to discuss the opportunities that IPS can offer you or your loved one.

We look forward to meeting you in person, but if you can't make it, we will be live streaming the discussion on Facebook and provide a link to watch anytime. We look forward to seeing you!

IPS is continuing to accept applications for our fall program until Monday, August 15. We welcome differently-abled adults ages 18-30 to apply. 

The application contains questions aimed at gathering information about applicant's educational background, diagnosis/diagnoses, educational needs as well as strengths and/or challenges. In mid-August, IPS will contact selected applicants to schedule in-person assessments with a licensed occupational therapist to evaluate their ability to participate in the program.
