Children with autism are challenged by the most essential human behaviors. They have difficulty interacting with other people. Education is the primary form of treatment for autism and there is huge responsibilities on schools and families in helping autistic children learn about their environment and make the most of it.
Since private school may not receive public funding, private schools often have a choice about accepting kids on the spectrum. Some specialize in autism and only accept kids with autism diagnoses. An example of such school is Jericho School, established by parents and local business people in Jacksonville, Florida. The Jericho School offers specialized, science-based education opportunities for people with autism and additional developmental disorders. Jericho’s curriculum incorporates Verbal and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to provide students with individualized and comprehensive instruction. This school is well-reviewed by parents who have had autistic children attend. One mother noted the science-based curriculum at Jericho helped her low functioning autistic daughter become a productive and happy adult.
