Tiegerman

Tiegerman Tiegerman provides educational and therapeutic programming for preschool, elementary, middle and high school students.

If you are interested in visiting our school or applying for admission, please call 516-609-2000 or visit tiegerman.org Tiegerman (formerly SLCD) is Pre-K through 12 school for children with Autism and Learning Disorders. Revolutionizing a teaching method, our founder, and CEO Dr. Ellenmorris Tiegerman formed "The Tiegerman Learning Method" (TLM). TLM teaches children to use symbols to communicate

first, to acquire word meaning second and to develop linguistic structures third. At Tiegerman, we are not interested in teaching children to identify colors, shapes and numbers. We are interested in teaching children to talk about their experiences, their thoughts and their feelings. We are interested in teaching children to acquire knowledge outside of the classroom by learning to ask questions. We are interested in teaching children to share their knowledge by learning to have conversations and to tell story narratives. All of these skills provide the foundation for learning to read and to write.

Our 9th grade students rolled up their sleeves, worked together, and hosted a successful car wash fundraiser to support Tiegerman Middle School. Through teamwork, dedication, and plenty of elbow grease, they raised funds that will go directly back into their program, helping create even more enriching learning experiences and opportunities throughout the school year. Thank you to all our staff, families and community members who stopped by!

🐾 Paws, Smiles & New Friends!

Our students at Tiegerman Elementary School in Glen Cove had a tail-wagging good time during a special visit from therapy dogs! From gentle cuddles to joyful interactions, these amazing four-legged visitors brought comfort, confidence, and plenty of smiles to everyone they met.

Therapy dogs do so much more than brighten a room. They help reduce anxiety, encourage communication, build social connections, and create a calm, welcoming environment where students can thrive.

We loved every minute and can’t wait to see you again!

Our 7th and 8th grade students from Tiegerman School at Woodside had a wonderful time exploring and learning through hands-on experiences at the New York Hall of Science! Students enjoyed creating giant bubbles, designing silly eyeglasses using plastic connecting sets, and engaging in interactive activities that encouraged creativity, curiosity, problem-solving, and teamwork. It was a fun and meaningful day of learning beyond the classroom!
