MOMENTUM'S VISION
Tony Cinquepalmi, M.Ed, LPC
Tony Cinquepalmi, Founder/Executive Director of The St. Anthony School (TSAS), began his career in professional counseling over 30 years ago, and is now recognized as a leading authority in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Mood Dysregulation Disorder and Learning Differences.
In 1998 he founded TSAS, an accredited private school that serves grades K-12, specializing in students with academic, social, behavioral, and therapeutic differences. With his extensive knowledge and deep understanding, Tony has created a nurturing and academically challenging environment where individual growth and potential for learning is unlocked. Being a witness to, or a small part of a person’s transformation is what keeps him excited and dedicated to creating an incredible school.
However, he didn’t want to stop there. Tony noticed too often that a young adult’s momentum for success greatly decreases once they’ve received their coveted high school diploma. The same issues that made it difficult for them to experience success in the past (anxiety, poor executive functioning, inability to fully & effectively communicate, difficulty regulating moods, etc.) were getting in the way of them achieving success in adulthood. That’s why he created the Momentum Program. By implementing a lot of the same principles used at the St. Anthony School, our team is able to guide and empower these young adults to exercise independence and reach their true potential. Because life doesn’t stop after high school.

Purpose-Driven Success.
“My child worked so hard for this diploma, but what’s next? I want my son to have purpose after high school.”
We have heard remarks similar to this time and time again from parents of our graduates. With over 70 years of experience in this field between the four of us, we have seen first-hand the need and desire for momentum to build for students after high school. We know that life doesn’t stop after graduation, and we want our students to know that means their purpose doesn’t stop either. That’s why we created Momentum – a program that not only supports, but empowers students to take autonomy over their future success.
With our expert guidance, these young adults gain the skills and first hand experiences needed to not just survive daily life, but to thrive in daily life. With our support, energy, and direction, we are certain these students are capable of excellence – some of them just need a little Momentum to get started on the right path.
