Autism Services
Happiness House offers two specialized preschool classrooms geared to the educational needs of children on the autism spectrum through our New Friends Integrated Preschool Program. Various methods are employed to maximize a child's pre-academic experiences including, but not limited to, Direct Trial Teaching and the T.E.A.C.C.H. method (visually based methodologies). Staff in these classrooms are specially trained in the area of autism and the program is supervised by an Autism Coordinator.
The Autism Support Group is open to families and care givers of persons on the autism spectrum. The group meets monthly and offers parent education through speakers on topics chosen by the group, family projects and a traditional support group format. Respite and sibling care/support is also available to allow all parents to participate.
