More About Academics West
Academics West was founded in 2011 by Dr. Jeffrey Kassinove and Dr. Evan Flamenbaum, both of whom are mental health professionals and educators. Initially, they worked together to help students who struggled social-emotionally to fit within a typical educational setting.
Over time, they realized that a typical general or special education setting is not always effective, even with extensive support. This led to the development of Academics West and the Clinically Informed Academics® model.
These ideas were not initially written down but were the expression of their frustration with standard educational settings and their belief that there was a better way to help those who struggle.
The vision statement of AW became the foundation of their collective work, which is now the ideal that all staff embraces when working with students at AW.
“We embrace the best most innovative tools and methods to help children with emotional and learning differences blossom into productive self-valuing individuals.”
