At BTLC we believe that every child has the right to quality education and it is our mandate to provide the flexibility and supports required to build each child’s ideal educational placement. To help the children in our program reach their potential we provide educational opportunities that are tailored to the individual needs of each unique child that we serve. We believe that every moment CAN and SHOULD be a teaching moment, provided it is facilitated and supported.
Research shows that the greater the intensity of programming for children with autism, the greater the outcome for the child. Using Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and discrete trial teaching techniques, we provide different preschool options for children based on their needs. (see Services)
Within the scope of our services, children are learning:
- Language, which allows them to get their needs met and make requests of others
- Behavioural self-control, which allows them to participate more fully in the community and with their families
- Play skills, which allow them to build relationships with friends and siblings
- Independence, which allows them to feel pride and reduce the load of their care that falls on others, and
- Many other skills which will allow them to move forward into other educational settings.
We truly feel that we are laying the foundation for an optimistic future for the children in our programs and their families.
