Early Education Center

 

Early intervention can play a vital role in helping children with autism succeed. The Faison Center recommends taking action immediately after diagnosis, instead of waiting until a child is old enough to enter a day school program at age four or five. As part of the Behavioral Health Clinic, the Early Education Center offers the benefits of an early intervention and educational program to help develop the child's communication and social skills and provide parents with helpful support and training. The Early Education Center is designed for students as young as 12 months old.

 

The Faison Center’s Early Education Center embraces a verbal behavior developmental model and uses a personalized approach adapted for each student. The school uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), inclusive and play-based teaching methods, motor planning training and social skills instruction. Formalized parent training tailored to the family’s needs is also provided. Students in the Early Education Center are served by a team of licensed behavior analysts, teachers, and teaching assistants.
