At Tiegerman (formerly SLCD – School for Language and Communication Development), we are dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young adults with language and communication challenges. Our mission is to provide a supportive, individualized educational environment that nurtures academic success, social-emotional growth, and lifelong independence.  Since our founding in 1985, Tiegerman has been dedicated to one mission: “Giving Our Children a Voice.” This guiding principle reflects our commitment to helping preschool and school-age children with severe language and autism spectrum disorders, unlock their potential and connect with the world around them.
