| Type of Program/Services: | Students with autism spectrum disorder, behavioral, and related disabilities. We also provide a STEAM initiative from Pre-K through High School for students on the spectrumn and related disabilities who are near, at or above grade level but who are not flourishing in their current placement due to issues such as anxiety, bullying, executive functioning, etc. |
| Services Include: | We provide a continuum from self-contained to departmentalized classrooms based on students’ learning needs, cognitive, behavioral and social-emotional functioning, and IEP goals. Academics are supplemented with supports including individual and group counseling, implementation of BCBA behavioral intervention plans, social skills training, speech and language interventions, occupational and physical therapy, and parent education program including home visitation. Academics are enhanced by after school programs, often offered with typically developing peers, weekend respites, team sports, school musical, prom, culinary and film electives and more. Community based instruction and work experience, and travel training teach independence and promote engagement with the wider community. We strive to provide a typical school environment with the supports each student needs to succeed and prepare for the future whether that is college, employment, and/or an adult program. |
