At Oasis. We dig in and identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses.
We study each child’s neuropsychological testing provided by parents, often through an independent psychologist. From that base, we begin to design each child’s educational program in order to provide what each student most needs. The loop continues throughout a child’s time at Oasis School for Autism as we collect more data and design new educational opportunities based on the information.
Unconstrained by large classrooms with few teachers, Oasis School for Autism School is set-up to place students in classrooms and tutorials with peers and teachers that can address weaknesses, accentuate strengths, and challenge students academically. This happens not only in language classes, but all core classes.
In other words, we expect children to make meaningful progress and our teachers push forward optimistically at all times. Yet, we also make sure that each child can utilize the skills, strategies, and content that they’re taught. Simple exposure is often not enough. We check constantly to ensure that students truly understand, can harness, and “own” what they experience in their classrooms and tutorials.
Oasis’s program is designed to ensure that each child has daily experiences in areas where they shine. While remediation of language-based weaknesses is also essential, opportunities in the arts, science, social studies, movement, athletics, outdoor education, social interaction and technology are integral components of the Oasis School for Autism School curriculum. Our project-based and cross-curricular approach keeps our bright and motivated children interested and challenged.
Oasis School for Autism teachers, every one of them, are trained to be experts in educating children with language-based learning difficulties..
This ensures that teachers possess the skills that enable children to succeed in ways that typical schools cannot accomplish. Skilled teachers drive the curriculum for each student according to a deep understanding of what each student most needs
