The Early Learning Program educates children ages two to six years. This program fosters the cognitive, language, social, adaptive, and motor development for each child enrolled by providing enriched learning and socialization opportunities. These opportunities are provided through an inclusive curriculum, children with autism and typically developing peers learning side by side.

Our curriculum is based on promising practices using empirically-based strategies to produce data driven IEP's and quarterly progress reports. The directors of the Auburn University Autism Center served as consultants for the development of the program.

The Early Learning Program curriculum is speech and language based, with the behavioral and occupational therapy needs considered on an individual basis. Therapists from the Multidisciplinary Resource Center will consult at the program development level as well as on an individual basis.

All children in the Early Learning Program benefit from the social and academic enrichment opportunities. With early intervention and enriched experiences, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as typically developing peers are optimally prepared for the challenges of elementary school.
