Pathfinder Academy
The mission of Pathfinder Academy is to provide students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) an education with appropriate positive behavior in a learning environment that enhances skill development.
The Pathfinder Academy is more than just a place of education, it is a place where students with Autism can achieve and demonstrate their full potential every day, as well as, a place they can learn and grow academically and socially in a safe environment with peers.
Pathfinder Academy recognizes that students with developmental disabilities learn differently. In response to this, a tailored curriculum has been developed to target each students individual learning style. In addition to learning basic educational skills such as reading, writing and math, students will have homework, peer socialization and be given opportunities to learn basic life skills in the classroom as well as in the community.
Curriculum / Services
Students will receive the same curriculum that is offered in the traditional public education; however, the difference is the methodology utilized in the implementation being individually focused. We achieve this by combining State benchmarks and guidelines with the methodologies and best practices of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). This assists each student in achieving their highest potential, as the behavioral issues that are common with Autism Spectrum Disorder population are appropriately addressed so not to impede with their learning.
With this primary mission being pursued, learned and mastered, we are able to work toward our secondary goal, when possible, of assisting students in mainstreaming to a less restrictive environment once they demonstrate adequate progress. Utilizing our individualized curriculum combined with the ABA methodology affords eligible students to achieve the ultimate goal of mainstreaming. When this goal is achieved, the Academy will work diligently with the staff at the school they intend to transition into and collaborate with them to ensure the student’s continued success.
Faculty
The faculty at the Pathfinder Academy are dedicated, fully trained staff that have obtained the necessary skills to work with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder in an educational setting.
