FOCUS Center for Autism works with school systems to help children, ages 5-18, whose social and emotional needs are interfering with their ability to function in a traditional classroom setting.

 

Our Academic Support Program is woven throughout the day and can offer several options for children ranging from age five to eighteen.

The first option is our recently extended morning session from 9:00am-12:00pm.

We also offer Academic Support from 12:00pm to 3:00pm for children attending their district school in the morning. Children who participate in this program usually flex their academic subjects by leaving their school early. FOCUS staff works with the sending district to provide academic support using the school’s curriculum and related educational material.

 In addition, an optional academic support/homework component until 4:00pm is available for children who attend the 3:00pm to 6:00pm Extended Day Treatment session.

Another option is a full-time alternative academic support approach. For children who participate in this program, FOCUS is their full time school. FOCUS is able to design individual academic programs for children whose parents and districts choose to use FOCUS as a full time program. The student would attend FOCUS from 9:00am-3:00pm or from 12:00pm to 6:00pm.

 

FOCUS is designed to meet individual needs, incorporating personal learning styles and providing individual and small group academic support, while at the same time teaching critical life study skills that are needed to help transition children back to their school systems.
