As Ben's needs were being met, his struggles decreased drastically.”

What a Difference You Made!

With the help of an extraordinary number of generous individuals the 10th Annual Discover the Difference event was a standout occasion! Many thanks to our visionary Corporate Sponsors, dedicated Event Committee and fantastic silent and live auction donors! Special thanks to Gold level supporters Bank Rhode Island and The Mardo Family/SAF Properties. Click here for a complete list of these incredible supporters.

With great ambiance, food and fun, the event raised over $69,000 to support the complex learning needs of Wolf Students. Our friends at The Rhode Show, Will Gilbert, Michaela Johnson and Mary Larson, hosted a terrific Live Auction adding to the enjoyment and success of the evening.

The highlight was certainly Wolf School parent Ken Soares who shared firsthand the difference a Wolf education made for his entire family. "We know challenges will always lie before our son and we will always be there for him. We also realize that in the end, he must be able to walk and stand on his own. With the lessons he's learned at the Wolf school, his journey will be easier."

Wolf Receives National Award for Innovation! The Wolf School is the proud recipient of the 2012 Award for Leadership and Innovation from the National Association of Private Education Centers (NAPSEC). NAPSEC is a member organization of over 300 providers of educational therapeutic services for publically and privately placed students with special needs. The Wolf School was recognized for its Immersion Model, a unique method for educating complex learners that imbeds therapeutic services such as speech and occupational therapy into the academic curriculum.

Jessica Robins Miller, Head of School, accepted the award at this year’s NAPSEC conference in Phoenix, AZ, commenting, “This is a wonderful validation of the important role our school plays in the continuum of educational services.”

In her acceptance speech Jessica described Wolf’s beginning as an opportunity created with an entrepreneurial spirit to address an unmet need in the educational landscape. Jessica commented, “The Immersion Model works with the learning needs of individual students and gives them the opportunity to be successful learners. Everyday our staff and supporters make a difference in the lives of the children and families who walk through our doors.”

“We are honored to receive recognition at the national level for our work in the field of special education. It is just another example of how Rhode Island as a small state, has a big impact!”
