Academic and Social Readiness

Transitioning to a mainstream school can be challenging for a child with autism. Our Academic and Social Readiness program takes a comprehensive approach to prepare children for both academic and social situations they will encounter. Your child will receive individualized attention in a group setting.
This program will help develop your child’s skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to succeed in school. These may include literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills, as well as study skills, time management, and organization. This program is also designed to help children improve their social skills and their ability to interact with others. Social skills training may involve group activities, role-playing, and other techniques to help children learn how to communicate effectively, build relationships, and navigate social situations.

Some of the most common challenges include:

  • Being unable to communicate verbally or with extreme difficulty
  • Mumbling or stuttering, especially when under stress
  • Challenges with socialization and expressing emotion through speech
  • Developing verbal tics
