Often, the difference between children with autism being successful in a mainstream classroom has everything to do with the quality of their supports. High functioning children with Autism or Asperger's often do not qualify for 1:1 supports, but do not have the skills necessary to be successful. CBC staff work with children in public and private classrooms to provide ABA based 1:1 intervention so that children can be successful. These supports focus on:

• Creating a positive behavior intervention plan
• Identifying skill deficits and barriers to being successful in the classroom
• Working on Executive Functioning skills and increase attending and focus
• Facilitating positive peer interactions and working on strengthening social skills
• Creating a plan to fade to natural supports as soon as possible
