"Last year we had a student that needed adult support to initiate greetings. He had the necessary language skills but was unable to initiate independently. Our team devised a more specific plan to fade prompts. It was a great moment the first day he came in and greeted staff independently. The best part was his own pride in his accomplishment that day!"

Highly Specialized Program for Children With Autism

Summit Academy offers a leading-edge program specifically for children with autism and related developmental disabilities. Specially trained professionals deliver a highly structured approach that has been scientifically demonstrated to be effective in teaching a broad range of skills to children with autism. Typically, the classroom includes six students to a teacher, speech-language professional and instructional aide. Additional aide support often is available to ensure that students receive sufficient one-to-one and small group attention. The classroom team uses an approach (sometimes called applied behavior analysis) that provides a highly structured and systematic approach to instruction. For more information please contact us.
