Foundations of Learning Program

What is the Foundations of Learning Program?

Children in this program range in age from 6 to 18 years old and have needs predominantly in social-communication development and academics. 

Program description

The goal of this program is to develop children's ability to learn in a less restrictive environment.  Children are taught how to learn from peers (i.e., observational learning) and how to work cooperatively with peers.  Both of these skills are necessary to small group learning and are characteristic of instruction in typical classrooms or resource rooms in schools.  In addition, core academic skills are taught so that the students can benefit from more natural instructional techniques. 

Each student’s individualized strengths and needs are identified across multiple areas including social, language/communication, academics, and adaptive/life skills.  Individual goals are created from the strength and needs assessment.  Each goal includes multiple learning objectives.  Objectives are targeted daily and progress on the objectives is assessed regularly.
