PEP Assist

The majority of children with autism are being served within school districts.  PEP Assist professionals provide support to teachers and students so that more and more children with autism can thrive in regular school environments.  As a result, children with autism, many who have significant communications challenges and limited social skills, are able to learn in places where they are surrounded by typically developing peers.  This exposure to peers with strong language and social skills greatly enhances the education and development of this special population.

 

The constant challenge is to design a daily program so engaging, so varied and new yet orderly and stable...so meshed with the growth of the child's mind, so rich in human interchange... The teacher-counselor is the pivotal person in making such a day possible... She has to be able to do things with confidence and assurance, so that she can have the heart and mind to respond personally to children.
