Residential School - Autism Teachers

Students in our residential program receive intensive, positive, behavior-oriented treatment individualized to address challenging behaviors. Students work on coping skills and appropriate behaviors with the goal of adapting to a less staff-intensive setting, while still participating in a full range of academic, communication, and recreational activities. Our Autism Residential Schools are located in the Southborough area and consist of 14 homes. Our program focuses on enhancing communication and adaptive living skills for individuals with autism.

Autism Teachers provide direct care and ABA instruction to students in a classroom and/or residential setting. They collaborate with a team of professionals to instruct students in general curriculum areas including communication, social skills, activities of daily living (ADLs i.e. personal hygiene), vocational skills, adaptive physical education, and self-preservation. Autism teachers assist with educational program design, Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) development, and have regular communication with parents and guardians.
