This
program is designed for students with a classification of
autism. The program consists of staff that is trained in
structured teaching provided by the "Tim Academy". The core of
the curriculum is based in TEACCH, developed at the University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. This is a research model for
structured teaching that encourages professionals to understand
and assess the characteristics of autism for each child and then
develop instructional curriculum based on that assessment. The
instructional curriculum is functionally based. It has academic,
speech, language, occupational therapy, behaviorist, physical
therapy, vocational and social work services available based on
individual needs. The program is located in the public school
setting to accommodate integration into the general education
classes when appropriate. Diploma tracks include Regents, local
and IEP diplomas.
Related services including speech therapy, physical therapy,
occupational therapy, visually impaired therapy and
hearing-impaired therapy are charged
separately. |
