Celebrate the Children's founder and director, Monica G. Osgood, is an experienced behavioral consultant and therapist who specializes in teaching social skills to children with autism and other disorders in relating and communicating. Monica has been working with this population for eleven years. Her experience includes four years at a school for autism in North New Jersey. She began as a classroom behavioral assistant and was promoted to Home Program Coordinator and eventually Social Skills Coordinator.

The responsibilities with this position included the development and implementation, with very encouraging results, of the social skills program for the entire school. She conducted social skills groups at the school on a daily basis for children of all ages and various developmental levels. In addition to running social skills groups, extensive work was also done transitioning special needs children into regular education settings. As a result of this work she has acquired an extensive range of materials and information on how to teach social skills to children with special educational needs. Currently, as a consultant to numerous school districts in New Jersey Monica's responsibilities involve curriculum and IEP development, teacher trainings, trouble shooting and the implementation of behavioral and social skills strategies for self-contained and mainstreamed students. In September of 1998 she started a public school program in Mt. Arlington, New Jersey for pre-schoolers and elementary age children with autism. The program is based on her own philosophies in combination with DIR (Greenspan). The program consists of a pre-school classroom and partial and full inclusion for older children. The program has been very successful and currently there is a waiting list. In conjunction with her work in the school systems, Monica also provides home programs and consultation for children with relating and communicating difficulties. This intervention includes social-emotional development, parent/sibling-child relationship support, self help skills, and academic support. In addition to therapy these positions include hiring and training staff and family members to work with the children; the implementation and monitoring of programs to be run with the children; staff management; and placement and support of the children into regular education settings. Monica is a faculty member of the Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders(ICDL) and has had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Stanley Greenspan and Dr. Serena Wieder who have been very supportive of the Mt. Arlington program and other projects Monica has created. Monica has completed a DIR certification program as one of the first professionals ever to receive this formal certificate. In July 2001 Monica worked as one of twelve faculty members (including Drs. Greenspan and Wieder) providing a DIR certification workshop to professionals. In November of 2001 she presented at the annual ICDL conference as a faculty member with Dr. Brazelton, and Dr. Greenspan, et.al. Additional accomplishments include many speaking engagements at conferences, regular consultations to school districts and conferences in Wales, and the supervision of annual DIR summer camps both in the USA and Wales. Most recently, Monica has appeared on Welsh Channel 4 and BBC1 sharing the DIR approach with British parents and professionals documentary style.

Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (CARD)

Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (CARD) is among the world's largest and most experienced organizations effectively treating children with autism and related disorders. Following the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a treatment for autism that has been thoroughly researched and empirically validated by the scientific community, CARD develops individualized treatment plans. CARD was established in 1990 and has several offices throughout the world. With our network of trained supervisors and therapists, we can provide services to families throughout the world.

The CARD Treatment Program

Description of CARD Program

The CARD Program recommends that 1:1 behavioral therapy be administered initially in the home setting, and then generalized to other settings such as school. The techniques used in teaching are based on Applied Behavior Analytic practices such as Discrete Trial Teaching and the content of instruction covers a wide range of skill areas such as speech and language skills, gross and fine motor skills, academic skills, self-care, and most importantly, socialization skills.

The CARD early intervention plan typically consists of intensive treatment in which basic skills are taught in the first years and advanced social and language skills are taught in the final years. CARD treatment is typically allocated in the following manner, allowing variance depending on each child's particular symptoms and rapidity of learning.

	Services	Skills Taught
YEAR ONE	40 hours of 1:1 in-home behavioral intervention.	Simple compliance, self-help, motor imitation, receptive and expressive object and action labeling, simple requests, and basic toy manipulation.
YEAR TWO	5-10 hours of preschool with a CARD shadow targeting social skills, and 30-35 hours of 1:1 in-home behavioral intervention.	Complex skills including imaginary play, describing and complex language, emotion recognition, and basic cause and effect, with an emphasis on generalization.
YEAR THREE	15 hours of general-education Kindergarten with a CARD shadow, targeting attention, classroom behavior, academics, and social development, and 20 hours of 1:1 in-home behavioral intervention.	Abstract skills such as abstract reasoning, senses, observational learning, and social skills are targeted.
YEAR FOUR	30 hours of attendance in general education First Grade, and 10-15 hours of in-home therapy.	The final treatment year should focus entirely on social skills and academic achievement in first grade. Typically, theory of mind and executive functioning skills, understanding cause and effect relationships, and comprehending social cues are the primary focus. In addition, parent and teacher training is completed so that treatment gains may be maintained after therapy is terminated.

For more than 40 years, the League School of Greater Boston has been a leading educator of children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder. As one of the first schools to specialize in teaching children with autism, League’s approach is built on innovation as well as established programs that have proven to help students reach their greatest potential.

Our year-round, private educational program offers a full range of social, academic, behavioral and community-life-skills curricula to meet the individual strengths and needs of our diverse population. Our team approach allows for both a comprehensive and tailored program, building on the expertise of each staff member and the potential of each student.

Students, from ages 3 – 22, work on and build academic, vocational and social skills in our specially designed educational facility. In addition to reading, math, science and social studies, they have a full array of services: social pragmatics, communication, sensory integration, occupational therapy and behavior therapy. Programs also include art, music and physical education classes.

In tandem with our strong academic environment we create a student-centered atmosphere to help our students develop a sense of community – and friendships – within the comfort of the school. During Club Times, students participate in extracurricular activities such as chorus, cooperative board games, science and nature activities, and karaoke singing. Our student council schedules many fun activities throughout the year, including Crazy Hat Day, Hawaiian Day and Red Sox Pride Day. And families have the opportunity to participate in celebrating their children’s accomplishments at concerts, talent shows and family days.

At the League School, we see each student as an individual. We see our students as children first and then as children with a disability. Autism spectrum disorder is a lifelong disability and we therefore seek to provide each child with the skill sets they need to achieve their greatest potential while at school and later in their community.

Private School for Children with Autism - Pros and Cons

"If you have a child with autism, you have probably considered the possibility of a private school. Private schools for children with autism can be terrific options. They offer strong therapeutic interventions that are tailored specifically for kids with special needs and avoid the many possible pitfalls of the public school system. Many kids with autism thrive in private settings, and many go on to careers or higher education."

Valley Achievement Center is the only non-profit facility in Kern County that serves children with autism.

Valley Achievement Center was founded in 1998 by three mothers from Kern County who were desperate for very intensive and specialized intervention programs. These early intervention programs are highly recommended by experts in the field of autism. No such programs were available here, so we realized we were going to have to bring this method of instruction to Kern County. We started out with one student and, almost 10 years later, we now have two schools that serve over 80 children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).

Today our non-profit, non-public school is recognized by the California State Department of Education as one of the very best schools serving children with autism.

Tobinworld is a non-profit school for children and young adults with behavior problems. Typically students have been classified as severely emotionally disabled, autistic or developmentally disabled. Often their problems are so severe that it has been difficult or impossible for them to be accepted by, or successfully educated in, regular public school programs. Tobinworld's policy is to accept students between the ages of five through 22 years of age without regard to race, sex, religion, I.Q., grade level or national origin.

Tobinworld seeks to impart to each student the skills and behaviors he or she needs in order to live as happy, normal and productive a life as possible. The program philosophy integrates special education with behavioral psychology and carries out an individual behavior and academic program for each student. Medication is not used at Tobinworld for behavior problems. Instead, we address behavior problems with a consistent behavioral and educational program. Whenever feasible, our goal is to return the student to public school or to a competitive or sheltered work opportunity.

Tobinworld is certified by the California Department of Education and operates from two locations.

The first job for the teachers here at PAC is to determine a reward that the child will work toward. Secondly, we need to establish the means by which the student can communicate his or her wants and needs - we use PECS. PECS facilitates functional communication between the student and the teacher, his or her peers, and family members. Once the student's reward and the method of communication have been identified then effective learning can take place.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Community School is designed for students in junior high and high school (ages 12-18 years old) who have had difficulty keeping pace in traditional academic settings, and who need more emphasis on social-emotional development, communication and relationship skills, and contextual, experiential learning. This program offers a nurturing and highly interactive learning environment built around experiences of strong personal interest. We are accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, enabling students who are ready to work towards a high school diploma to do so.

The Community School is one of several schools in the country to address the needs of students using Stanley Greenspan's DIR Model. This model asserts that social-emotional development provides an essential foundation for complex logical, higher order thinking. Other private schools in the Atlanta metropolitan area focus their programs primarily on specific learning disabilities; this school also provides an explicit, intensive focus on emotional development within a small, well-supported community.

We visualize a world in which the social-emotional foundations of learning are recognized as the essential part of any education program. We also visualize a world in which all students with learning and developmental challenges are served in schools that give them opportunities to strengthen their self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and relationship-building abilities as a primary means to social and cognitive success.

In the News: The New York Times on The Community School : Reaching an Autistic Teenager

"What makes the Community School unusual is not its student body — plenty of schools around the country enroll teenagers with an autism spectrum disorder. But, like about only two dozen schools in the country, it employs a relatively new, creative and highly interactive teaching method known as D.I.R./Floortime, which is producing striking results among T.C.S.’s student body. (D.I.R. stands for developmental, individual differences, relationship-based approach.) The method is derived from the work of Stanley Greenspan, a child psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry, behavioral science and pediatrics at George Washington University, and his colleague Dr. Serena Wieder. D.I.R./Floortime can be effective with all kinds of children, whether they have developmental challenges or not. As applied by T.C.S., it is an approach that encourages students to develop their strengths and interests by working closely with one another and with their teachers. The goal for students is neurological progress through real-world engagement."

We provide intensive behavioral and language based therapies for children diagnosed with Autism and other Pervasive Developmental Disorders. We are committed to helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder reach their potential.

We strive to give children the basic learning repertoires that all children need.

We are especially skilled in helping young children with the potential to achieve independent functioning in a general education setting achieve that goal.

Treatment averages 20 - 40 hours of direct intervention per week to reflect the individual child's needs and current research findings (e.g., Lovaas, 1987, Howard, Sparkman, Cohen, Green, & Stanislaw, 2005, Sallows & Graupner, 2006). Structured peer interactions are usually part of every child's program by the end of the first year of treatment. Children who learn in small group educational settings are "shadowed" by an Instructional Assistant into play groups, preschool, kindergarten, or first grade to help maximize progress in these challenging environments.

Treatment intensity reflect evidence-based practice as well as the fact that children with developmental delays must learn at a faster-than-normal rate if they are to begin to catch up to their typically developing same age peers. To reach this goal the children with delays must achieve more than one month's growth for every month spent in treatment.

Early intensive intervention programs based in the child's home are available throughout the California Central Valley from Sacramento to Merced. The Kendall Schools in Modesto, Tracy, and Elk Grove provide intensive center-based intervention.

		ABC's History
		ABC was founded in 1987 by Joseph E. Morrow, Ph.D., and Brenda J. Terzich, M.A., to provide Applied Behavior Analysis services for persons with special needs. We began by providing in-home behavioral services to the developmental disabled population throughout Northern, Central, and Southern California. This included group parent training and behavior consultation to Community Care Facilities. We have provided behavioral services for over 3000 clients. Along with the continuation of these services, ABC opened its first classroom for children diagnosed on the autism spectrum in 1994. Currently, we provide services for 8 Regional Centers, over 50 School Districts and 30 Community Care Facilities. Present Autism services include over 300 intensive behavioral treatment in-home programs and about 125 students in our four schools.

The ABRITE Organization is devoted to improving the lives of young learners with the use of early intensive intervention based on the principles of behavior analysis. ABRITE views each child as an individual and develops an educational curriculum that addresses the learner's unique strengths while remedying deficits. This goal is achieved solely with the use of empirically supported methodologies as we believe further development and dissemination of validated practices will be the way by which families and science can unite to improve the lives of children with autism and developmental delays.
