Autism is a developmental disability identified during the first three years of life.
Children with autism typically show uneven development, have marked impairment in communication and social relatedness and may display a restricted pattern of behavior and interests. Although we do not yet know what causes autism, current research suggests that it is a neurologically or biologically-based disability. Decades of research suggest that applied behavior analysis is the most effective intervention for the treatment and education of individuals with autism. Through an intensive education program and outreach intervention, our learners benefit from data-based, highly structured comprehensive services. In addition Alpine Learning Group reaches out to the community through research, consultation and training.
