Classroom 12 - Crossroads Center for Children

Class Overview

Classroom 12
Classroom 12

Welcome to Room 12, one of two school- age rooms serving the elder half of our school-age program, which extends to age 12. We utilize techniques of Applied Behavior Analysis (individual visual schedules, individual instruction, least to most prompting, forward and backward chaining, and task analysis) throughout our school day to assist in the acquisition and generalization of academic and social skills. In addition, we focus on building leisure, as well as daily living, skills. Other curriculum strategies such as Learning Without Tears and Touch Math, as well as music and arts and crafts, are infused to help enhance and individualize our program.

- Noah is nearly independent in dressing and toileting and so much more. Hope is priceless and what others took away from us in an already devastating situation, Crossroads Center for Children teachers and administrators gave back two-fold.
