Our Program
How we work
Community Partnerships
Cobblestone operates through meaningful partnerships with community-based organizations that are already serving young people around New York City. Bringing services into these spaces meets the young people where they already are, and keeps neurodivergent youth in their communities while providing them with the tools they need to thrive.
Truly Inclusive Programs
Cobblestone’s programming is youth-led and focused on every child building their social and emotional competencies. Learning through play invites all youth into the experience while fostering community and instilling a self-motivated desire to learn and grow.
Accessible Spaces
Often, neurodivergent youth are set up to fail by the spaces they are placed in. Cobblestone seeks to provide sensory-friendly spaces for programming, including sensory gyms and calm-down classrooms.
Highly Trained Staff
Highly trained staff make all the difference for neurodivergent youth. Training will include aspects of play therapy, UDL, and SEL-based instruction. Cobblestone aims to provide the best tools possible for all those who support young people.
Family Support
Cobblestone seeks to create a community of caregivers to support one another, share information and resources, and enjoy one another's company in an environment of understanding and joy.
