Extract:	The goal of Wings is to provide a strong, structured curriculum using simultaneous multisensory teaching techniques and art-based instruction designed to focus on the needs of individuals who learn differently in order to allow them equal access to the print-based and social world around them. Wings believes all people can learn if provided with a learning environment specific to their learning style.
