Room 11 is our younger 6:1:2 classroom. In room 11 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, there is a large focus on continuing to develop communication skills and 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.

7.13.26 – Cooling Off!
The first day back from break was a hot one! Room 11 cooled off in the courtyard with some water toys and laughs. Look at that smile!
Summer can be challenging for children with an ASD diagnosis. Hot weather, sunscreen, and bugs can cause overstimulation. That’s why here at Crossroads we try and make it fun! We teach the importance of protecting ourselves from sunburns and bug bites. Plus, understanding water safety is incredibly important to kids, especially our students.
Great job, Room 11 team, for teaching all of these lessons to our our students!
5/20/26 – Butterflies in the Making!
Every year since 2020, Crossroads has been blessed to have the amazing support of the Bender Scientific Fund of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region. Their grant funds our beloved Butterfly Unit, something that each classroom enjoys and benefits from. We receive the cups of caterpillars, and observe as they wind up into their J form, then form their chrysalis and finally emerge as beautiful creatures to be released into our Bender’s Butterfly Science Garden.
5.6.26 Chicks in the House!
Our school has been raising some eggs for the past 3 weeks, thanks to Ms. Becca in Room 14, and today we finally have chicks! The kids in our class have been watching the eggs and the egg chart and were very excited to see the fuzzy babies today.

4.23.26 Room 11 P.E.
With the help of our Physical Therapist, Denise, and Occupational Therapist, Morgan, our class has been teaming up with our friends in Room 12 to boost our fitness and activity.
Today we were out on the playground, the beautiful 70-degree day that it was. With invigorating music, Denise and Morgan introduced fun activity after fun activity to engage the students. Staff worked with students to get them to do whatever they could so that everyone is involved and participating at their own level.
We are so very grateful for Morgan and Denise to help us this way. Our students are making great gains.
