Tiegerman, formerly known as the School for Language & Communication Development, is a nonprofit education organization based in Glen Cove, New York. It operates as a Pre-K through 12 program serving children with autism and learning disorders, guided by its signature Tiegerman Learning Method, which emphasizes teaching communication first through symbol use, then word meaning, and finally linguistic structures. The approach prioritizes verbal interaction, question-asking, and storytelling as foundations for reading and writing, with the aim of transforming the lives of individuals from preschool through adulthood. The organization positions itself within the education sector as an expert in language development, incorporating language enrichment across its programs to support independent, successful futures for those it serves.
