What’s our mission?
_
Our ISBE-approved program is a therapeutic day school (ages 5-22) where students have the opportunity to take personalized courses similar to their home school districts, but with intense individual attention, modifications and accommodations, and greater structure. Our interdisciplinary approach supports the core challenges of autism spectrum disorders through Evidence-Based Practices that help students develop new skills and enhance personal talents and strengths as they navigate towards independent thriving futures.
_
These programs and pilots foster independence through coursework and includes practice training in real-world environments. Focusing on three main areas: Independent Living, Social Communication, and Employability Skills. The admissions process is based on student-specific needs and current skillset and classroom structure fosters a learning environment conducive to individualized instruction. We partner with businesses to provide students access to hands-on training opportunities in real and mock work settings.
