Program Overview

Students with Autism or Asperger’s often experience many challenges in daily life, possessing deficits in cognitive functioning, social skills, communication skills or emotion regulation. Some students are successful in inclusive programs, while others present challenges for educators, requiring assistance from autism experts.

Our nationally-recognized consultation team provides training in differentiating instruction, teaching social skills, and addressing challenging behaviors. Our educational techniques are rooted in principles and practices that are evidenced-based and research studies show these strategies are highly-effective for children with Autism or Asperger’s.

We offer several levels of support: Child Centered (Provide consultation to those who work with children and teens in natural settings), Parent Centered (Deliver trainings to parents, schools and community parent groups), School Centered (Provide in-service and pre-service trainings to support individual schools), and District Centered (Facilitate development of a district-wide administrative, educational and auxiliary support).
