Mild Cognitive Impaired education and treatment.

What We Can Do to Help Your Child

If your child has been recently diagnoised with mild cognitive impairment or your current school does not meet your child's special needs please contact us. Montgomery Academy is equipped to appeal to the more unconventional student by offering a more unconventional format in which to learn. While we do use textbooks and employ the more traditional styles of teaching, these are not the only, nor the primary, means of educating. Whenever and wherever possible hands-on, experiential techniques are used. Building models, dioramas, exploring the campus environment, role playing, field trips, cooking, and other hands on methods are used regularly. Our classrooms and halls reflect what is being studied, drawings, murals, reports and projects are all proudly displayed.

Treatment Options

Although no cure for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) exists, several medications as well as many non-medication approaches can potentially improve daily functioning and quality of life. Several clinical trials are in progress to determine if any medications will prevent or delay the rate of progression from MCI to dementia. One key to effective management is a coordinated approach to the treatment options.

What is Mild Cognitive Impairment?

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a condition in which a person has problems with memory, language, or another mental function severe enough to be noticeable to other people and to show up on tests, but not serious enough to interfere with daily life.

Because the problems do not interfere with daily activities, the person does not meet criteria for being diagnosed with dementia. The best-studied type of MCI involves a memory problem and is called “amnestic MCI.”

Though we follow New Jersey’s Core Content Curriculum Standards, we are able to remain creative and flexible in our approaches to the subject matter. Please read about our programs.
