Functional Skills Teacher - Program, curriculum, lesson planning and implementation, IEP preparation and case management, team collaboration and Special Education Assistant (SEA) supervision (12 positions). Due to the success of the classroom a co-teacher was added to the program in Sep 2005.

For two years I ran a language-based ABA classroom based on the principles of verbal behaviour. We offered a continuum where students progressively develop communication and social skills which will allow them to be successfully integrated into classes with typical peers. We focused on teaching routines and using visual supports. We looked at the function of behaviours and develop positive behaviour plans for our students. This is a model for a program for students with autism and other developmental disabilities at the secondary level in a public high school.

Classes include Academics, Fitness, Music, Art, Living Skills, Social Studies, Work Experience, and Communication.  As well, students receive Intensive Teaching following ABA principles.  The program demonstrates most of its progress not in marks but in day to day achievements.  Take a look at our Classroom Curriculum.
