ExcelPrep is a mission-driven private program serving neurodiverse children through structured, research-based instruction. Our simple, unwavering mission is to prioritize the academic and social success of neurodiverse learners. We are a professional organization with meaningful learning outcomes.

We offer two distinct programs to meet diverse learner needs:

• PreK–8 Academic Program: Grounded in Direct Instruction and Precision Teaching, focused on core academic skills with explicit, systematic teaching to mastery, fluency, and generalization.

Across both programs, we center:

• Direct Instruction and instructional design
• Precision Teaching and data-based decision making
• Behavior-science research and evidence-based practices
