***In beautiful HEBER VALLEY*** Make a difference in an adolescent’s life! At New Focus Academy, we assist students with a variety of cognitive, social, and emotional struggles affecting their ability to manage their interpersonal relationships and daily life, such as Autism Spectrum & Psychosis Spectrum. Our students are between the ages of 12 to 18 years old, are ‘uniquely abled’ with neurodiverse minds.
