Independence Skills Class:  This class is primarily for students with autism.  We individualize the students curriculum based on their strengths, needs and interests.   The classroom environment is organized using the structured teaching model.  This methodology fosters independence in the classroom and school environment.  

* I am a member of the SUSD-Autism Support Services (The A Team).  We are currently participating in our second year of a state grant program that provides training to district teams that work with students with autism.  Our training will enable our team to provide training our to school personnel working with students with autism.  Just give us a call.
