We provide individualized educational programs for children with autism, ages 3-12 through an 11-week Parent-Training Course. Teaching techniques are based on applied behavior analysis (ABA). Skills are taught based on individual assessments and designed to meet the unique learning needs of each child. Areas taught range from learning readiness, self-care to academics and language. Parents also participate in all teaching activities.
Parents are grouped according to their children's age and skill level. There are currently 5 preschool-classes, which focus on individualized instruction of learning readiness, basic self-care, pre-academic and language skills designed to prepare for children's later learning. We have recently started the youth-class (beginning in 2002), which is a continuation of the preschool individualized program, expanding the child's learning into academic, communication, domestic and social skills.
