New ABA Classroom

[Guest guest]

Just found out about a new program

Spectrum of Hope – Hope Extended

Inspired by the mother of a child with autism and certified elementary

school teacher, Spectrum of Hope is expanding our current programs to

include HOPE EXTENDED - an ABA Classroom for children ages 6-12. The

program includes two levels– Acquisition Classroom and Transition

Classroom – and is overseen by Beth Husband, BCBA, Bednar,

BCABA and the parent/teacher who envisioned the classroom. All

teachers and aides are trained in ABA.

Acquisition Classroom – 1:1 Teacher/Student Ratio – Full Time (6

hours/day) and Part Time (3 hours/day) – This classroom is for

children to acquire and maintain school readiness skills. Programs are

individualized for each child's skill level. The class will be teacher

led with aides to assist the students in all areas of school readiness.

Transition Classroom – 3:5 Teacher/Student Ratio – Full Time (6

hours/day) – This program is for students who possess at least 75%

mastery of specific school readiness skills but aren't ready for a

more independent setting. Programs are individualized for each child's

skill level and may focus on areas such as social skills, academics,

independence/leisure skills or other specific areas of concern. The

class is teacher led with 2 aides for shadowing and assistance. This

serves as an appropriate placement for

Children whose parents prefer a private classroom setting for their

child (long term placement)

Children whose parents wish to " ready " their child for future

placement in a public school classroom (short or long term placement)

Children who have entered a public classroom but need additional

assistance to be successful (short term placement)

Application for the program will begin July 2006 and the program will

begin mid-August. Please call 281/894-1422 or email kkwallace@...

to request an application (limited space is available) and more

information

Thank You,
