Interactions Program

This program provides academic programming in a small group setting for children who display characteristics within the Autism Spectrum Disorder. The classroom provides a higher adult to child ratio than in a regular program.  The Interactions program is focused on improving the developmental, social and communication skills of the students.

Staff in the program are knowledgeable in the area of Autism Spectrum Disorder and there is ongoing training throughout the year.

A number of strategies are employed to help students reach their potential.  A sensory room with specific equipment will provide students opportunities to improve their fine and gross motor skills as well as regulate their sensory needs.

Communication skills will be developed both in and outside of the classroom. Students will have the opportunity to be integrated into other classrooms, when appropriate, to focus on socialization and/or academic skills.

Placement for all Interactions classrooms is by referral only and cannot be selected during standard registration. Students must have a formal diagnosis of autism and be placed in programming through the Division. 

School tours are recommended after students are confirmed to meet entrance criteria, have discussed placement with their home school, and entered the SNAP process with the Division.
