Autism Support
Standards-aligned curriculum using intensive teaching and direct instruction methodologies, with integrated social skills instruction across the academic day.
What this looks like:
Students spend their day in small, structured classrooms with individualized instruction tailored to their academic needs and learning goals. Lessons incorporate direct instruction, hands-on practice, and frequent opportunities to apply new skills. Social skills are woven throughout the school day, helping students practice communication, cooperation, self-advocacy, and independence in authentic classroom and school settings. Related services and behavioral supports are integrated into the student’s routine as needed, creating a consistent environment where students can focus on learning and growth.
