Pattison’s Academy is a nonprofit organization in West Ashley that provides comprehensive services to children with complex disabilities and their families in the Lowcountry.
Pattison’s Academy offers four sectors programming including a public charter school, a therapeutic summer camp, an early intervention program that provides in-home services for children from birth to age 3 who are navigating potential developmental delays, and outpatient therapy services such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy.
As Dr Laura Ganci explains to host Erin Kienzle: the care provided by Pattison’s Academy draws families that move to the Charleston, SC area to find the type of comprehensive and holistic care they provide for children.
Ganci explains that Pattison’s Academy’s integrative approach provides therapy, medical and educational services during the school day and thoughtfully weaves needed services together appropriately to meet the unique needs of each student and their families to support them.
They also discuss Ganci’s background in advocacy, education and her experience; the different data gathering and research they are doing to improve upon their services, the fundraisers they have and their purpose as well as why they are seeking a new building.
