The First Step Training Program is based on a fundamental belief that an autistic child can learn. At our facility we employ seven full-time staff members who practice one-on-one programming with our students. Children are treated with the utmost respect so they may learn respect themselves.
Each child is given an initial assessment, during which we will gather his or her functional level. Each child admitted to our program has their own unique curriculum.
Our trainers work enthusiastically with each student in a station-by-station format. The specific activities train both gross and fine motor skills, cognitive skills, and social behavioral habits.
We work to help our students progress to a point where they are more ready to succeed at home, at school, and the rest of their lives. Our students have gone on to become independent workers and even college students.
Posture, attention, coordination, and senses It´s not a therapy or formal education, but playing with exercising activities which seek to maximally develop capacities.
This particular program is designed as a specific tutoring program for children with autism.
We use small groups of 6-7 students, staffed with two teachers. The program content is based on student need.
We consul with parents at the beginning of the Summer Camp to determinate the exact emphasis for each camp.
