REED Academy is a private, not-for-profit program for individuals with autism spectrum disorders ages 3-21. Our school program, which is approved by the New Jersey Department of Education, is located at 85 Summit Avenue, Garfield, NJ  07026 as of September 2004. In addition to an individualized full day school program, we also provide family consultation services and parent training.

REED's mission is to provide the most effective science-based intervention to individuals with autism so that they become independent, productive, and contributing members of their families and communities.

Neiman Marcus Event

On the morning of Wednesday, April 22nd, sixty REED supporters gathered at Neiman Marcus at the Garden State Plaza to enjoy breakfast and a Tory Burch fashion presentation. After a truly delectable dining experience, REED parent Shelly Milstein spoke poignantly about the enormous positive impact REED Academy has had on her life with her two sons, both of whom are students at the school. "The Whole Wide World With Tory Burch" presentation which followed, showcased summer apparel, shoes and handbags. The fashions looked fabulous—not only on the models who donned them, but also on those guests who tried on Tory's styles, post event. Lucky Cathy Berson, of Woodcliff Lake, won the highly anticipated raffle drawing, entitling her to $300 of Tory Burch merchandise. (Cathy chose a great handbag!)
All of our supporters left Neiman’s with a Tory Burch chocolate lollipop, a heightened sense of summer fashion, and, because the event raised $3000 for REED, the knowledge that their morning made a positive difference in the lives of children with Autism.

A huge thank you goes out to Public Relations Director Lynne Vreeland and the Neiman Marcus staff for three consecutive years of phenomenal events in support of REED.
