Age-appropriate academic instruction through S()MA®RPM leads to communication and an enriched life.
We specialize in using the S()MA®RPM Method to teach individuals who are neurodivergent and have limited or unreliable speech abilities. Although our primary focus is on working with autistic students, the S()MA®RPM approach is suitable for any student who lacks a reliable means of communication.
The S()MA®RPM academic program not only provides age-appropriate content but also facilitates the development of communication skills, reasoning abilities, comprehension, motor skills, and enhanced sensory tolerance. S()MA®RPM has demonstrated remarkable success in teaching learners of all types, by identifying and leveraging their unique learning channels. Each lesson is carefully tailored to accommodate the individuality of the student, fostering a sense of accomplishment and building confidence. It also offers a pathway to develop speech skills and drive progress in various aspects of life.
We are dedicated to delivering the utmost level of service and support to neurodivergent students, striving to meet their specific needs and empower them on their educational journey.

Testimonials
The Jackson Family
"We can't thank Soma enough for everything she has done for the autism community. RPM was a game changer for our family. RPM gave us hope for a bright and limitless future for our daughter, taught us how to best help her, communicate with her, and most importantly for her to communicate with the world around her. Soma also motivates us to keep trying, to put in the work to improve."
