Special education for children and adolescents with autism is a key component to any successful autism program for youth with behavioral issues. Children with autism need routine and structure in order to be their most successful, and few activities provide the level of day-in, day-out structure that is naturally present in a classroom.At Springbrook, we believe that the treatment of autism and behavioral issues has to take into account all of the needs of the child or adolescent—including the educational needs. Our classroom activities and other autism programs are based on applied behavior analysis, or ABA, which is an evidence-based method proven to be the most effective to teach children and adolescents with autism. The facility uses the FISH curriculum which is a ABA based curriculum used all over the world. Its author is employed by Springbrook to help ensure that the principles are accurately applies and individualized.
