Five program options. One shared developmental framework — built on ten skill domains, six developmental pillars, and mindfulness-informed practice that transfers from the session room into everyday life.
Programs are aligned with core social-emotional learning competencies including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — translated into practical Applied EI skill instruction.
Summer Skills Series 2026 — enrollment is now open for live online group programs, personalized individual pathways, and neurodivergent-responsive options.

Live, online, mindfulness-informed group and individual programs — designed to build real skills over real weeks, applied in real life. All five options are grounded in the AEIL™ Framework's ten skill domains, six developmental pillars, and evidence-informed session structure.
All programs include structured skill instruction, mindfulness-informed practice, real-life planning, and Home Practice Support for families.
View Summer Programs & TuitionA gentle, movement-based introduction to the language of emotions — through play, body awareness, and developmentally responsive learning experiences. Not sitting quietly. Not performing calm. Just beginning to notice and name what's happening inside.
A structured skills group for children navigating frustration, school stress, transitions, rigid thinking, and confidence challenges. Learners build a practical toolkit — for regulation, coping, flexible thinking, and self-talk — that works in real moments, not just in the session.
A teen-respectful program for school pressure, social stress, perfectionism, feedback, mistakes, and harsh self-talk. Mindfulness-informed practices are framed as practical attention and awareness tools — secular, concrete, and adapted for adolescent learners.
A one-on-one pathway built around the learner's specific goals, learning profile, and real-life needs. Full practitioner attention. Customized pacing. Maximum flexibility. Ideal when a group format is not the right fit — or when focused, individualized skill-building is the priority this summer.
Summer entry into a long-term individualized pathway. Families may begin during summer with an initial structured starting block, while the full Neurodivergent Developmental Skills Pathway is designed as a longer-term developmental program — tailored to the learner's profile, goals, and pace. Profile-adapted instruction, visual supports, structured real-life planning, and Home Practice Support throughout. SDP-friendly documentation may be available for eligible families.
Group programs are a strong fit when a child is generally ready to participate in a small structured group, learns well alongside peers, and benefits from seeing others practice the same skills.
The personalized pathway is the right choice when the learner has very specific goals, needs individualized pacing, or when a group setting is not the right fit for this stage of their development.
Built from the ground up for neurodivergent learners. If previous programs haven't accounted for how your child actually learns — this pathway was designed for exactly that reason.
Institute programs follow a consistent, evidence-informed instructional rhythm so learners know what to expect and skills can transfer beyond the session. Mindfulness-informed practice is embedded in the structure itself — not added to it.
Programs are aligned with CASEL core SEL competencies, translated into practical Applied EI skill instruction: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Skills are taught in sessions. They are used in the moments between them — at the table, in the hallway, during transitions, and in the moment a child begins to pause before a meltdown takes over.
That is why every Institute program includes Home Practice Support: practical resources designed to help families use the same language, the same tools, and the same mindfulness-informed practices at home — reinforcing what was learned in the session, without adding pressure to family life.
This is not homework. It is partnership. The Institute believes that family engagement is not optional — it is one of the most powerful variables in whether skills transfer into a child's actual life.
Both year-round pathways include the full AEIL™ session structure, Home Practice Support, and real-life generalization planning — with the depth and continuity that meaningful skill development requires.
One-on-one sessions built around the learner's specific needs, profile, and real-life goals. No standard curriculum to keep pace with. No group dynamic to navigate. Every session is designed for this learner, this week, this skill.
A sustained, structured, profile-adapted developmental pathway built from the ground up for neurodivergent learning. Not an adapted version of a neurotypical program. The goal is never to make a neurodivergent learner appear neurotypical — it is authentic skill development in a form that respects who they are.
SDP-friendly documentation may be available for eligible families. Funding approval depends on the family's individual plan, eligibility, authorization, FMS requirements, funding availability, and applicable Regional Center or state SDP processes.
The Institute is currently prioritizing direct programs for children, teens, neurodivergent learners, and families. Future partnership pathways are being developed for schools, universities, and organizations interested in Applied EI professional learning, curriculum consultation, student programming, and implementation support.
Early inquiries are welcome from institutions interested in future collaboration, pilot discussions, guest lectures, professional training, or curriculum-aligned Applied EI learning experiences.
