SAI was started on February 22nd, 2004.

All children admitted to SAI have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

All students are evaluated on the basis of the ABLLS (Assesment of Basic Language and Learning Skills).
Our students are also evaluated on the VB-MAPP this is Dr. Mark Sundberg’s latest and most comprehensive assessment.

IEP goals are then set with the consultation of parents and are revised every 6 months.

The technique used for instruction is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) which consists of both Discrete Trial Training (DTT) and Natural Environment Training (NET) with an emphasis on Skinner’s Verbal Operants.
