These needs are met though large and small group activities. ECSE students with Autism Spectrum Disorder needs are serviced in a variety of ways in our school district. Students with intensive needs are serviced in a specialized centerbased classroom, structured for the students needs. This program meets 4 mornings a week and is housed at Otsege Elementary. A variety of teaching techniques are used to meet the individual needs of each student.
All staff is trained on the specifics of the teaching techniques used.
Peer models attend 2 times a week and receive instruction once a week on how best to make friends with their peers with autism. Children with less intense needs are serviced in a variety of settings, from typical preschools to other centerbased ECSE programs. Placement is determined by the needs of each individual child.
