THE
FOUNDATION LEARNING CENTER IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
To better serve the region’s growing population of children with autism, The Foundation Learning Center opened its doors in a new facility in the fall of 2019 and quickly reached capacity.
All of our teachers are certified, and every staff member is enrolled in or has completed a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) or higher training course for certification in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
n 80% of our staff have completed the course to become a RBT.
n Three staff have completed the coursework necessary
to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Our goal is to be a 100% ABA and Autism Specialist trained staff.
Expansion of the program is underway so we can serve more children. It will include new classrooms, a larger gym area, outdoor playground, life skills room, and a host of other amenities that will benefit our students.
“Thank you for allowing me to get a ‘peek’ into your classroom Zoom sessions with Ms. White and
Ms. Saunders today.
“I absolutely enjoyed it and I
feel like the students have the opportunity to make instructional gains with the way you have designed your virtual instruction.
“Although you already have small groups, your use of the ‘break out’ rooms allows for an individualized instructional focus for each student as individualized extensions are needed. The integration of videos and reinforcement materials, advance organizers, etc., all help with the bottom line—good teaching!”
