Grow. Climb. Adapt. Belong.

We Are the Brooks Tree Frogs

Tree frogs begin life small, but they are created to grow. They adapt to changing environments, persevere through challenges, and climb where others might think impossible.

Why the Tree Frogs?

Every student grows in their own way.

Tree frogs come in countless colors, shapes, sizes, and species. Each is uniquely designed and equally valuable. Brooks students also learn differently, communicate differently, move differently, and follow their own paths.

Our role is not to change who students are. It is to provide the environment, relationships, instruction, therapy, and opportunities that help them reach their greatest potential.

GrowI can learn.
ClimbI can keep trying.
AdaptI can try a new way.
BelongI am part of the group.
LeapI can take my next step.

Every voice belongs

A chorus made of many unique voices.

Tree frogs are known for their distinctive calls. At Brooks, every student has a voice—through speech, AAC, sign language, eye gaze, gestures, facial expressions, movement, or behavior. Every voice deserves to be heard and understood.
