Sydney's School for Autism, located on the grounds
of St. Patrick Church, provides services to children with autism and
those with similar disorders. It is the first school of its kind
in Hillsborough County. Each child's individualized program is
based upon the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA/AVB
is a structured teaching program which relies on behavioral
methods. During all ABA/AVB sessions the therapist/student ratio is
1:1.
ABA is based on behavioral research first
published by B.F. Skinner in 1938 and later expanded upon by many
others. Years of research support the use of ABA/AVB for children
with autism.
At Sydney's School for Autism, we recognized how
important it is to integrate children with autism with the typical
Pre-School children on our campus (formerly Great Beginnings
Pre-School).
Sydney's School accepts pre-school, VPK, Kindergarten
and 1st Grade students.
