School of Autism is a sensory immersion school for children with autism, pdd-nos, global developmental delay and sensory integration issues. It opened Summer 2006 and started it's preschool program September 2006.
The preschool program was so successful and because of parent demand,
School of Autism expanded it's program to include kindergarten June 2007. Since School of Autism is a year round school, students receive over 1000 in-session hours per year, compared to public kindergarten's 400 hours per year. The kindergarten program uses Oregon State standards and benchmarks to track the progress of the students, and both programs are taught by a teacher with a BA in early childhood education and a certified registered nurse.
For the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years, added a Music and additional elementary grades. We can offer our program to any children in elementary grades 1 to 5.
The goal of School of Autism is to keep expanding, keep improving, keep learning--so the best educational environment and experience is provided to local children with autism. Some of SOA parents aim to have their child mainstreamed into public school and simply need a little longer to prepare their child--we can do that! Some of SOA parents want to provide their child with a completely alternative education and we can do that!

The School of Autism is a place that families with children with autism can go to get therapy, support and education. Through play, sensory immersion and guidance by people who actually have been through the same process, families and children with autism can be treated AND educated in one place.
Normally, a child with autism will have to be taken to different offices for speech therapy, occupational therapy, and preschool classes. Families sometimes feel like they are alone and they don't know what to do or how to help their child.
We have speech, occupational and physical therapy integrated into all of our daily activites. Each child receives what they need in each area.
We evaluate each child in the areas of sensory sensitivities, nutrition, social, cognitive and language development, and start teaching them from where ever they are at.
We care about every child we work with. The children receive praise and positive reinforcement for every accomplishment. We truly celebrate every small step forward with the child and their parents.
...because
every step, every day adds up. We will make it, we can get there, one day at a time.
