Relationships - We work hard to build sincere and meaningful relationships with all of our students. It is our view that the best education and therapy outcomes can only be achieved when we have positive rapport with each other.
Fun! - Education should be fun. We incorporate student interests and highly engaging activities in all that we do. Students should want to be at school and should want to participate.
Regulation - All students learn important emotional, sensory and behavioral regulation strategies. Deep learning cannot occur until a student is regulated.
Data Driven - Decisions about programming, goals and treatment options should be made by consulting high quality data. Our students' achievement can be maximized when we carefully observe and track their progress.
Best In Class Education - We only follow evidence-based practices that have been shown to benefit people with autism through extensive research. All of our program staff are regularly trained in these practices and demonstrate a high level of competency in using the best methods.
Person Centered - Our approach is person first, trauma sensitive and humanistic. We adapt programming for students based on their personal preferences, history and assent. We avoid all techniques and methods that may be adverse to the student experience unless it is a last resort or safety emergency.
Family Partnership - Families are our partners in holistically educating and caring for our students. We listen and work together with parents to meet all of the needs of the students.
