Moderate-to-Severe Autism Programs: Elementary, Middle, and High School

The Autism Programs are designed for students with moderate to severe Autism and other related disabilities who may require physical assistance, personal care assistance and/or medical care. The program focuses on teaching students the skills to achieve as much independence as possible in the school and community. Students are also taught functional academics, adaptive living skills, and pre-vocational skills using elements of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Applied Verbal Behavior. Elements of ABA are used to develop basic skills like looking, listening, and imitating, as well as complex skills like reading, conversing, and taking the perspective of others. All students are assessed upon entry and throughout the year using the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment Placement Program (VB-MAPP) to determine their developmental levels pertaining to communication, academics, behavior, daily living, social skills, and transition. BCBA and BCaBA provide ongoing supervision and consultation to staff and students.
