Intensive Treatment Team (ITT) Residential Program - Autism Teachers
The ITT serves students with the most challenging behaviors, which may include aggression, self-injury, property destruction, and non-compliance. The program helps them to develop and strengthen skills necessary to succeed in many different non-institutional settings. Most of our students have had multiple failed residential placements, and come to us from all over the U.S. Our students live in a custom-built one-story structure on three acres that offers a spacious, comfortable, and enriching learning environment. It is customized to accommodate the individual program needs of each student – ranging from quiet 1:1 teaching sessions to open, group recreational activities.
Autism Teachers provide direct care and ABA instruction to students in a classroom and/or residential setting. They collaborate with a team of professionals to instruct students in general curriculum areas including communication, social skills, activities of daily living (ADLs i.e. personal hygiene), vocational skills, adaptive physical education, and self-preservation. Autism teachers assist with educational program design, Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) development, and have regular communication with parents and guardians.
