Highly intensive and structured teaching programs focus on developing basic learning skills and skills in all areas of development, as well as modifying challenging behaviours. The preschool program is offered for a 3-year period; transition to group settings is planned in preparation for transitioning to school as early as the child has a minimum set of skills to be successful in that environment. The service is then delivered in both settings, home and preschools. The program curriculum is based on the Assessment of Basic Learning and Language Skills, the ABLLS. Mastery criteria and programming templates following the ABLLS skills have been developed for consistency across teams and clients. Outcomes are evaluated by normative and criterion measures administered at intake and yearly thereafter. Data are presented as group outcome per area of development / assessment tool (e.g., cognitive – Wechsler Scale; Development – Battelle Developmental Inventory, Language – Preschool Language Scale). Data will be presented for each outcome measure, including correlations among variables such as age at intake and scores at intake.
