To create a dynamic and meaningful learning experience where children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop skills that support learning, an understanding of others, and an ability to become independent in all areas of their daily lives, and to serve as a professional resource for practitioners in the field of ASD by serving as a progressive educational model for all students with ASD.
WLC recognizes the unique needs and learning differences of
children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Such recognition has
inspired a group of dedicated parents and professionals to create a
program unlike any other, a program in which the child is the
greatest source of information about program direction. This
acknowledgement of the child as a primary force in the educational
process has led WLC to develop a program that includes
methodologies and approaches that address the most compelling
challenges children with ASD face. In the learning environment WLC
provides, these challenges are creatively addressed through
appropriate interventions and support that include: Innovative
curriculum based on current research, effective practices, and
student`s individual learning styles. A flexible application of
educational and therapeutic strategies based on the child`s
individual needs, abilities, and interests. Speech and Language
Therapy. Occupational Therapy. Helping students learn to replace
idiosyncratic routines and rituals with more socially meaningful
interests and activities. Assisting students to become more
flexible and adaptable during transitions across environments. WLC
acknowledges the crucial contribution parents make in the lives of
their children. WLC works collaboratively with parents in
developing the annual IEP report and in the ongoing evaluation of
each child`s academic and social progress. WLC also provides vital
home support through home visits and frequent parent contact.
With so much uncertainty in the world today and a pandemic further confounding our lives, it's reasonable for parents to want to protect their children whenever and wherever possible? But overprotecting or bubble-wrapping? Well, that's another matter.
