Teaching a child with autism is unique because their sporadic skill sets often mean that teaching sequentially is not always best - or even necessary. We provide teachers with evidence-based recommendations that align with the NCDPI and National recommendations for students with autism. In addition, we provide an easy, systematic way to plan these differentiated lessons, track progress, and assess understanding.

Our staff is uniquely qualified to provide individualized design and implementation of APE programming. In addition to offering training to physical education staff to conduct evaluations and collaborate with EC teachers to develop individualized, data-driven IEP components, BCPS also provides staff development regarding using physical activity as a research-based strategy.

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) is considered the “gold standard” of autism assessment.  This evaluation tool is used as part of a comprehensive initial evaluation to identify a student who is eligible for Exceptional Children’s services under the area of Autism.  Our licensed psychologists have received specialized training in administering the ADOS assessment and can be utilized as part of your team’s initial autism evaluation.

Our licensed psychologists have worked within school systems across North Carolina for over 10 years and have received specialized training to complete a variety of assessment measures. A comprehensive evaluation may include some or all of the following: psychological evaluations (including IQ testing, educational achievement testing), adapted and behavioral evaluations, clinical interviews, and autism evaluations. Our providers can also develop an independent functional behavior assessment.

In addition to Board Certified Behavior Analysts, our team includes individuals whose background in the school system is serving as autism coordinators. This unique partnership allows our team to help you implement evidence-based practices in a way that are most effective for your schools. Our team believes in building rapport with teachers and support staff to help them build on their strengths to create the most supportive and successful learning environments for their students.

The goal of our AT team is to increase effective communication for students with disabilities.

From low-tech resources to the most up-to-date technology for voice output and communication, our team can provide specialized training and support on a wide array of resources.
