Specialized Therapeutic Learning Settings
Each classroom will consist of one qualified teacher and a small student/teacher ratio with individualized therapy support for each student. Our small class sizes and intensive support will ensure a positive learning experience for each student.
Team Approach
Every student will be supported by a team that includes a teacher, a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), and an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) team. Speech, physical, and occupational therapy are also available for students who qualify for these additional services. Our highly skilled team will work in collaboration with our families to provide a high quality educational experience that meets the needs of the whole child.
One-on-one Support
Each student will have a team of RBTs who will have extensive knowledge of their ABA programming and how to effectively implement it in the Stepping Stones classroom environment.
Needs-based Support
Each child will receive academic assessment to address individual needs for the student, and an ISP (Individualized Support Plan) will be written with the goal of helping our students to reach their full potential at Stepping Stones.
Engagement
Each student will be taught skills that will enable them to be active participants in the school environment and their education. The Stepping Stones staff will intentionally and consistently encourage and help our students to fully engage in the wide variety of social opportunities and academic activities within the Stepping Stones school environment.
Skill Generalization
Our ultimate goal at Stepping Stones is to help each child develop needed academic, social, emotional, and communication skills to thrive both in and out of the classroom. These skills will serve as keys to open many doors of opportunity in a wide variety of additional environments for our students!
