We all need support through the most important period of our children: the early years

“If you expect they can, they might. If you expect they can’t, they won’t.”

Vision

The SAS Autism Preschool Program is a research based preschool program that specializes in early education and intensive therapy services to empower children with disabilities to reach their maximum potential.

Mission

The Autism Preschool Program is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment where children with autism can thrive, build essential skills, and prepare for a successful training to mainstream education. We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of these young learners and their families.

KEY FEATURES OF OUR PROGRAM:

Special Education

We recognize that each child with ASD is unique, with their own strengths and challenges. Therefore, we create personalized learning plans that address specific developmental goals, communication needs, and sensory sensitivities.

Therapy Services

We offer dedicated speech and occupational therapy sessions to progress children toward their individualized goals. Our program places a strong emphasis on sensory activities and strategies to help children regulate their sensory experiences and improve sensory processing.

Applied Behavioral Therapy

Our program incorporates ABA strategies to help children develop essential skills, such as communication, social interaction, and adaptive behaviors.

Qualified and Compassionate Staff: Our team consists of experienced educators, therapists, and specialists who are trained in evidence-based practices for autism. They are passionate about working with children on the spectrum and are dedicated to their growth and well-being.
Small Class Sizes: We maintain small class sizes to ensure a low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing for more individualized attention and tailored instruction

Sensory Integration: Our program includes sensory activities and strategies to help children regulate their sensory experiences and improve sensory processing.
Parent Involvement: We believe that collaboration with parents is crucial for a child’s progress. We provide resources, workshops, and opportunities for parents to actively participate in their child’s development.
Inclusion and Peer Interaction: We promote inclusive practices, encouraging interactions between children with ASD and their neurotypical peers, fostering social skills and understanding.
Progress Monitoring: Regular assessments and progress tracking ensure that we are continually adapting our approach to meet the evolving needs of each child. We are dedicated to collecting data as part of our research initiative to provide evidence of of the Dynamic Engagement model.
