Education/Methodology
Students benefit from a small class size. The Allen County Educational Service Centers Unit for Children with Autism focuses on a holistic learning approach that extends between home, school, and community. An integral part of this program is to work directly with families to ensure a continuity of services.
Program Qualifications
A diagnostic and/or educational evaluation must first determine if the individual falls within the Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Qualification for the Autism Unit is then decided upon by a team consisting of the child's guardian and educational professionals who determine the child's least restrictive environment.
