Dynamic Minds Academy is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) entity that
serves K-12 students on the autism spectrum. The DMA model is the
first in Indiana to fully integrate modern therapeutic practice
with accredited public education.
DMA provides an innovative choice for parents of students with
ASD who desire a 48-week academic year and access to a public
school education that is efficiently and effectively integrated
with modern therapeutic services for their children.
While a school-based placement is appropriate for some students
with autism, a therapy-based placement is appropriate for others
and DMA takes the guess-work out of the equation, as parents no
longer have to choose between behaviorally-appropriate therapies
and public education. Dynamic Minds Academy is designed in
partnership with a co-locating therapy provider to offer students
with ASD evidence-based practices for personal growth within an
optimal learning environment.
Dynamic Minds Academy is ranked #1508 out of 1,763 schools, which ranks it among the bottom 50% of public schools in Indiana.

My son has been attending THS/DMA since 6th grade (he is in 10th grade now). THS/DMA has given my son the chance to be educated in a manner to benefit him. We have been thrilled with all the systems that DMA has put in place for our son and the opportunities they have given us. We highly recommend them!
